Margate: Buenos Ayres

Buenos Ayres is the intriguing name of this short road which runs from near the railway station to the seafront. A Google search failed to find any obvious explanation of how it acquired this name. Perhaps it was just a basic translation into Spanish from "Good airs", as there is a fine uninterrupted view of Margate's sandy beach and its bracing breeze! Anyway the Palace Hotel on the corner is one of several properties on the road offering accommodation to visitors.
