Music in Salta is not a performance; it is a response to the landscape. The bombo legüero (drum) mimics the gallop of horses. The charango (small Andean guitar) mimics the flight of the cóndor . During the Señor y la Virgen del Milagro (the main religious festival in September), the entire city of Salta vibrates with processions, bagualas , and vidalitas .
(sweet squash pastries) are a staple, often finished with a sugar glaze and perfect for pairing with mate. Soy de Salta
