Relaxed BBQ Days in La Plata
Barbecues in La Plata: Where Weekends Slow Down
In Argentina, sharing an asado or a simple parrillada in the park is one of the most relaxed ways to be together. Friends bring folding chairs, families spread out on mantas, and the afternoon naturally stretches into mate, sobremesa chat, and a late walk home.
Why La Plata Works So Well
La Plata’s grid layout and tree-lined diagonals make green spaces easy to reach by bus, bike, or car. Many plazas and parks offer:
- Open lawns for picnics
- Simple parrillas or grill spots
- Nearby pitches for casual volleyball or fútbol
- Public toilets in or near main park areas
The vibe is very local: kids playing with a pelota, teens with speakers and mate, grandparents guarding the cooler. A typical spread might include choripán, tira de asado, grilled veggies, and facturas or helado later in the day.
