This provincial city of 297,900 has a lot going for it, but don't expect an easy ride. The port, rail links, and major industries make Bahía Blanca an economic hub, yet bureaucracy is a persistent headache. Winters are chilly, with 35 days of frost on average, and thunderstorms can pummel the city in summer. Despite the cultural offerings and low crime, the weather extremes and red tape mean this place is best suited for hardy, pragmatic types.
