Mendes' days in Argentina

According to the Argentinean newspaper La Nacion, Mendes has been enjoying his vacation in the city, going on walks in some of the most popular places in Buenos Aires and eating barbecue. 

Mendes was photographed in San Telmo, where he smiled and took photos with fans as he browsed through the artisan market and purchased a yellow pashmina. He stopped by the restaurant "La Brigada," one of the most popular barbecue spots in the capital city. 

Earlier today, he shared a video on his Instagram stories of the Argentinean flag waving in the wind. He added the song "Gracias a la vida," by Mercedes Sosa, a local icon, prompting excited comments from Argentinean fans who believe that Mendes is a fan of the city, and has been thoroughly enjoying his stay. 

Following his performance on Saturday, Mendes will be traveling to Chile, where he's performing at their "Lollapalooza," and later on, to Colombia and Brazil, where he's a headliner at some of the countries' biggest festivals.
