Field notes
Argentina's third-largest city in the Pampas, on the Paraná River. Pichincha (the dense walkable creative quarter), Centro (the historic core), and Puerto Norte (the converted-port modern district) are the typical anchors. Same Argentine DNV (Rentista visa: 6-month + extensions, $2,000/mo income). The structural draws are real-economic-capital infrastructure, the country's deepest soccer cultural texture (Newell's Old Boys, Rosario Central, plus Lionel Messi grew up here), and rents 30-40% below Buenos Aires.
