Escala en la ciudad (A stop in the city) is a 1935 Argentine film directed and written by Alberto De Zavalia with Carlos Aden.

It was produced by SIFAL, a production company run by de Zavalia and his partner Luis Saslavsky, during the Golden Age of Argentine cinema.

The production company disbanded the following year, after de Zavalia had made Escala en la ciudad, his feature film debut, and Saslavsky had completed his second and most famous movie, Crimen a las tres.

The story follows Jaime Lara, a passenger whose ship makes a stop in Buenos Aires for one day.

Lara elopes, leaving his wife on board, and walks around the city at night, coming to meet a beautiful yet frivolous hooker, Isa.
