Tuesday 10 holiday and access to the Monumento de los Españoles.

Holiday on Tuesday 10 in the City

This Tuesday, November 10, is a holiday in the City of Buenos Aires and in the province of Córdoba, La Nación reported. The measure was set because of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Argentina and aims to make it easier to take part in the events on his schedule.

The scheme for these days is staggered. Monday the 9th was a holiday across the country, Tuesday the 10th applies only to the City and to Córdoba, and on Wednesday the 11th the day off reaches only the province of Buenos Aires.

Schedule at the Monumento de los Españoles

The Monumento de los Españoles is in Palermo, at the crossing of Avenida Del Libertador and Avenida Sarmiento. The meeting with young people is planned there for 8.15 pm this Tuesday. According to Ámbito, a special security and transport operation was set up to organize entry, the event itself and the exit.

The call is open to registered young people and also to the general public. Entry opens at noon and arriving early is recommended to avoid delays. From 4 pm there is live music, with Nahuel Pennisi, Maggie Cullen and Valentino Merlo among other artists.

Leo XIV is expected at 8.15 pm and the event ends at 10 pm. The space runs along Del Libertador, from the monument to Olleros, with marked sectors and walking corridors. There will be sound and screens, hydration and information points, restrooms, medical care and places to eat.

Entry points and exit streets

Registered young people, aged 15 to 35, are split into eight color-coded sectors and enter with a QR code. The general public without a QR and people with disabilities have their own entrance: you reach it through Plaza Italia, from Sarmiento and Santa Fe, and then along Avenida Colombia.

There are eight entry points in total. Intendente Bullrich and Santa Fe is exclusively for registered attendees, and Figueroa Alcorta and Levillier admits both groups, with guidance priority for registered people. The other six are Ortega y Gasset, Olleros and Teodoro García on Luis María Campos, Virrey Vértiz and José Hernández, and Olleros and Valentín Alsina.

For leaving, three streets were reserved for exit use only: Gorostiaga, Maure and Dorrego, heading toward Luis María Campos.

Buses, subway and taxis

The 103 national bus lines that run through the City have reinforced their service since 6 pm on Sunday. Thirteen city lines are added: the 12, 34, 39, 42, 44, 64, 65, 102, 107, 108, 109, 118 and 151. For the exit, vehicles will be waiting in the Pacífico and Plaza Italia areas.

This Tuesday all subway lines run on a regular weekday schedule, and stations are open except those closed for works. If there are security risks or overcrowding, specific protocols apply. Line D extends its hours until 1.30 am.

After regular service, line D has two special routes for getting off only. Toward Catedral you board at Plaza Italia and get off at Pueyrredón or 9 de Julio. Toward Congreso de Tucumán you board at Palermo and get off at Juramento or Olleros.

Line H offers a direct service from Santa Fe to Once, with entry only by transfer from D and getting off only at Once. Taxis and ride-hailing cars must use specific points to pick up and drop off passengers, so as not to clog the streets prioritized for public transport.

Portable batteries, trash bags, food with disposable utensils, plastic bottles, canes, crutches and small binoculars are also allowed. Bags must be small and backpacks cannot exceed 15 liters.
