Friendship in Argentina, "El día del Amigo"

















El día del Amigo or friendship day is a pseudo Holiday that Argentines celebrate every July 20th, right smack in the midst of winter ( I guess to prove that you really care about friends in spite of miserable weather)
Its origins go back to the late 60s, but nobody knows for sure.
The objective is to gather with friends and party or dine, it extends to the immediate weekend and even the whole week. some groups buy gifts for each other but it can take many forms according to age, gender or social strata.
