Why I Went Back to Buenos Aires: This Time With My Family

What is Buenos Aires like when you return after almost 20 years, this time with your wife and young son? In April 2026, I went back to Argentina for a month to explore real estate opportunities and rediscover a city that had stayed with me since college.
My connection with Argentina began long before that, with my grandfather’s fly-fishing adventures in Tierra del Fuego. His stories eventually inspired me to spend a semester in Buenos Aires while studying at Bocconi University.
Years later, after living in nine countries across five continents and building an international career in real estate and finance, I returned with Heather and our one-year-old son.
In this video, I share the personal story behind Spadafora Capital and what it was like to experience Buenos Aires as a husband, father, and real estate professional.
We explore everyday life in Palermo, Recoleta’s architecture and cafés, Puerto Madero’s waterfront, and the Sunday market in San Telmo. Along the way, there are playgrounds, capybaras at Ecoparque, art at MALBA, memorable meals, and five tango shows.
I also explain how experiencing a neighborhood with my family informs the way I assess property: understanding who will live there, what they value, and what makes an area appealing in everyday life.
Argentina’s changes and the investment opportunities I’m evaluating gave me a professional reason to return. This is the family history that brought me there in the first place.
