		El Caracol is sometimes referred to as “the observatory.” To modern eyes, the rounded dome of El Caracol—actually the decayed remains of what was a cylindrical structure—looks a lot like it could house a telescope.
		It doesn’t, of course, but there is plenty of evidence suggesting that El Caracol was used as a lookout on the heavens.
		In particular, El Caracol seems to be carefully aligned with the motions of Venus.

	Alberto Castillo, el cantor de los milongueros (El tango es danza de rango)
		It is worthwhile mentioning as example pieces like "Al compás de un tango", "El tango es el tango", "Cuatro compases", "Canción de rango" and the most successful "Así se baila el tango"; all them sung by Alberto Castillo.
		Castillo, by doing this, expresses his own physical and sentimental nearness to those to whom it is directed, that is to say, the tango dancers, on the one hand, while mocking those usually called "petiteros" on the other.
		We can surely say that this tango piece was not only the one that launched Alberto Castillo to fame, but also the one which praised and made the dancers of that time become boastful.
