A person from Buenos Aires, the port city. Porteños have a reputation for being sophisticated, Eurocentric, and a bit self-centered. To the rest of Argentina, the porteño thinks Buenos Aires is the only city that matters.
“People from Buenos Aires always talk about their city as if it's the only one in existence.”
“I'm from Buenos Aires, Palermo, can you tell?”

Cachilo
