Magna Carta Monument

This Monument is popularly known as the Monument of the Spanish, but its real name is Monument of the Magna Carta and the four Argentine Regions. It is one of the most important and valuable in the city as it was a gift from the Spanish in honor to the Centenary of the May Revolution.

It is one of the most moving gifts that a country can give to another and the striking fact is that it was gifted by Spain to the country that became independent of it.  It also shows the indestructible bond that links these two countries. The monument has figures symbolizing Work, La Pampa, El Chaco, La Plata River and on its summit a statue of The Republic. It also has written a part of the Preamble of the Argentine Constitution and emotinal dedications from Spain to the people of Buenos Aires.

Dengue Fever

The Dengue Mosquito is characterized for being dark, with white ringed stripes on its body and for being active during the day. It reproduces in humid, cool, shaded places, where the female is able deposit 100 eggs in containers of stagnant water.
Today we are all exposed to this disease due to a lack of caution and therefore this insect and the dengue fever it transmits have been spread. The virus is transmitted only through the bite of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, not between people and to realize whether you are infected or not you must pay attention to muscle aches, yellowing of the skin, fever and vomiting.

The spread of the disease and the reproduction of dengue mosquitoes are increasingly accelerating, so it is very important to be aware and take the necessary precautions. Though it is a confirmed fact that the dengue fever is not originated at the Federal Capital but on the suburbs and bordering countries instead, it is time people become aware and thus do something to stop this. The numbers of infected people in the country have already reached the 10,000 victims.
