Trivia: What does the name of Argentina’s capital translate to in Spanish?
Golden meadows
Fair winds
River delta
Southern city
The correct answer is Fair winds
So why is this answer correct? : Argentina’s capital city is Buenos Aires, which translates to “fair winds” or “good airs” in Spanish. According to legend, the Spanish sailor who established the first port of Buenos Aires in the 16th century gave it its name because it was far enough south to avoid a strain of marshland mosquitoes. The mosquitoes carried malaria, whose name is derived from “mal aire” or “bad air,” so without them, the city had “good airs.”
