	Alta Gracia, Argentina
		On the gentle western slopes of the Sierra Chica, Alta Gracia was a major Jesuit estancia that became a town, and the place where Che Guevara’s parents relocated in hopes of relieving their son’s chronic asthma.
		Alta Gracia was also the residence of Viceroy Santiago Liniers, a resistance hero during the British invasions of Buenos Aires whose royalist convictions brought about his execution during the wars of independence, and Spanish composer Manuel de Falla, who fled the Franco dictatorship after the Spanish Civil War.
		Admittedly this may not be the place for a complete summary of his life, but from its contents one would hardly know that Che was a controversial figure, or have any idea why it was converted into a museum, and why so many neighbors opposed the conversion.
