Salta is in Argentina’s interior, yet the Arabs have been in the area for roughly 143 years.
Again, remember that almost all Arabs in Argentina are now Christian of one flavor or another. A lot of them were Christians fleeing Muslim persecutions.
The Muslim community in Argentina likes to brag of its size, but most Muslims in Argentina are non-practicing, and many either convert or intermarry into Christianity.
In fact, Islam came close to dying out at one point in Argentina. Still, it is there.
However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the arrival of Italian, Spanish and Arab immigrants, particularly Syrians and Lebanese, revived trade and agriculture all over the area while further enhancing the city’s multicultural flavor.
It has a large Arab population, so this restaurant should prosper.
At that latitude, Salta should be tropical, as it is just shy of the tropic of capricorn, but it is about 3,780 feet high in the mountains; and so can be affected by Andean cold.
However, even though it might dip below freezing at night in the dead of winter, it will usually shoot up to 20°C (68°F) by noon. So, it is subtropical with a pleasant climate.
Outside the city grow Giant Cactus called the Cardon Grande (Echinopsis terscheckii) which can reach 25 feet, and resemble the Saguaro of Arizona, and Mexico.
