Rosario, Santa Fe
Rosario (Spanish pronunciation: [roˈsaɾjo]) is the largest city in the province of Santa Fe, in central Argentina. It is located 300 km (186 mi) northwest of Buenos Aires, on the western shore of the Paraná River. Rosario is the third most populous city in the country, and is also the most populous city in Argentina that is not a province capital. With a growing and important metropolitan area, Greater Rosario has an estimated population of 1,276,000 as of 2012. One of its main attractions includes the neoclassical architecture that has been retained over the centuries in hundreds of residences, houses, and public buildings.
Rosario is the head city of the Rosario Department and is located at the heart of the major industrial corridor in Argentina. The city is a major railroad terminal and the shipping center for north-eastern Argentina. Ships reach the city via the Paraná River, which allows the existence of a 10-metre-deep (34 ft) port. The Port of Rosario is subject to silting and must be dredged periodically.Exports include wheat, flour, hay, linseed and other vegetable oils, corn, sugar, lumber, meat, hides, and wool. Manufactured goods include flour, sugar, meat products, and other foodstuffs. The Rosario-Victoria Bridge, opened in 2004, spans the Paraná River, connecting Rosario with the city of Victoria, across the Paraná Delta. Because it plays a critical role in agricultural commerce, the city finds itself at the center of a continuing debate over taxes levied on big-ticket agricultural goods such as soy.

La Gaviota
by: Silvio RodríguezCorrían los días de fines de guerra
Y había un soldado regresando intacto:
Intacto del frío mortal de la tierra,
Intacto de flores de horror en su cuarto.
Elevó los ojos, respiró profundo,
La palabra cielo se hizo en su boca
Y como si no hubiera más en el mundo
Por el firmamento pasó una gaviota.
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio,
Cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro.
Gaviota, gaviota, blancura del lirio,
Aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro.
¯A dónde te marchas, canción de la brisa,
Tan rápida, tan detenida,
Disparo en la sien y metralla en la risa,
Gaviota que pasa y se lleva la vida?
Corrían los días de fines de guerra,
Pasó una gaviota volando, volando
Lento, como un tiempo de amor que se cierra,
Imperio de ala, de cielo y de cuándo.
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio,
Cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro.
Gaviota, gaviota, blancura del lirio,
Aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro.
Corrían los días de fines de guerra,
Pasó una gaviota volando
Y el que anduvo intacto rodó por la tierra:
