Islas Malvinas (by Joe)

Exactly 25 years since the Falklands' war, Argentina has far from given up its claim on the Malvinas, as they're called here.

We've seen many car and window stickers calling for their return to Argentinian rule (see top), and - in a remarkable act of denial - official maps in travel agents and elsewhere mark the islands as: 'Islas Malvinas (ARG)'

Given the strong feelings surrounding the dispute, I've been pleasantly surprised at the warmth we've encountered so far both towards us specifically and Britain generally. Many Argentinians we've met have said how much they'd like to visit the UK; British music (e.g. Robbie Williams, Sting, Pink Floyd) is played very widely; and, as with everywhere in the world, the British Premiership is very popular.
