Just can't get this, although it might posssibly be Asuncion ....
This old former colonial city speaks espanol and is referred to as a maternal figure. It celebrates its heroes with a pantheon but Rome is not its home. You probably won't have any beef with the food - unless you'e a vegetarian - while a drink of something totally tropical gives a hint to its climate and a popular beverage, mate. Name the city.
All the stuff I've seen points to Asuncion but I'm not 100% sure. Many thanks. Chox.
