Perhaps the main attraction along Buenos Aires's Florida shopping street is Galerias Pacifico. It's basically a shopping center, but one housed in an 1890s Beaux Arts building, and adorned with beautiful stained glass and a dome painted by five of Argentina's leading painters. (Think a combination of the Sistine ceiling, Thomas Hart Benton, and the Mexican Muralists.) Its Christmas decorations only added to the over-the-top effect of the architectural decor and the stylish window displays.
