We found ourselves in a real pinch when we checked out of our hotel in Palm Desert and the hotel in Palm Springs who we prearranged to store our bags there declined to provide that service when we got on site. Thankfully this service was available and we were greeted warmly and our bags were well cared for and we were then able to spend several more relaxing hours before our flight left in the evening.

Brilliant, completely hassle-free, reliable – even if the entrance to the garage (looked after by a caretaker) seems a bit unusual at first, and the fact that you simply hoist your incredibly heavy rucksack onto a pushchair. It couldn’t be better, quicker, or more fun. I’d do it again any time. Oh, and by the way: thanks for your kindness. (And, incidentally, very close to the harbour, just under five minutes away.)

About Plaza del Congreso

Plaza del Congreso in Buenos Aires is a central and historically significant public space, located at the western end of Avenida de Mayo. It faces the Argentine National Congress building, an impressive Beaux-Arts construction completed in the early 20th century. The plaza itself, designed by French-Argentine urbanist Charles Thays, was inaugurated in 1910 as part of the city's centennial celebrations of the May Revolution, which led to Argentina's independence.

The layout of Plaza del Congreso is a testament to the grandeur and aspirations of early 20th-century Buenos Aires. It features a number of notable sculptures and monuments, including the Monumento a los Dos Congresos, which commemorates the Congress of Tucumán (1816) and the Constitutional Assembly of 1853. This monument, designed by Belgian sculptor Jules Lagae and Argentine architect Eugenio D'Huicque, features a central fountain and a series of statues symbolizing the provinces of Argentina.

Visitors to Plaza del Congreso can also appreciate the various architectural styles that flank the square, ranging from Art Nouveau to Neo-Gothic. The plaza serves not only as a civic space where citizens gather for protests and public events, symbolizing the democratic spirit of the nation, but also as a cultural hub, reflecting the rich urban tapestry of Buenos Aires. Its dynamic mix of historical resonance and vibrant public life makes it a pivotal site in the urban and cultural landscape of the city.
