Argentinians enjoy drinking mate, a tea made from yerba mate leaves drank with friends and family. Football is hugely popular, with Argentinians playing and watching matches, and having produced famous players like Messi. On Sundays, people often gather for asados, barbecues with family and friends. Tango is a famous Argentine dance typically danced by a couple. Other popular hobbies and pastimes include playing cards games like truco, having water balloon fights in summer, going to loud discos at night, listening to various types of music, riding bicycles in parks, and fishing with family and friends.
