I'll also note that I watched that one after living in BA/surroundings for a year, so part of my disappointment was that every minute on the couch was a minute not spent seeing the city I missed.
He stays a lot in San Telmo and near Boca Jrs Stadium. There is a shot of Cafe Rivas, one of my favorite places.

Seriously? I'm going to have to rewatch it, I don't remember that at all. I lived in San Telmo for a month, must have gone to Cafe Rivas 2-3 times at least.

We just watched the French Alps one. It was eerily foreshadowing with some of the things he said in that episode about death and finding his body, all to Ripert himself.
