    the Feria!

    The San Telmo Feria is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon. The street fair/flea market is from 10 am-5 pm and draws a respectable crowd! Booth after booth of antiques, jewelry, silver pieces, glassware, linens, handmade crafts and other items are offered for sale. This is one place in Buenos Aires where bargaining is expected. On a street nearby, people pose in entertaining vignettes offering to have their photos taken with the tourists for a contribution. Children play accordions in the hopes of receiving a small tip for amusing the visitors. San Telmo is said to be the barrio most connected with the Tango. There was a Tango demonstration at the feria when we visited. It was a passionate display!

    San Telmo is a popular and typical district; at the 19th century it was a district for the richest families of Buenos Aires, and nowadays, ancient houses, restaurants and tango music give this place a very particular atmosphere. On Sunday mornings, there is a flea market at Plaza Dorrego, where you can find all kind of antiques and handicrafts, and a lot of peculiar characters. San Telmo es un barrio popular y típico; en el siglo XIX fue el barrio de las familias más ricas de Buenos Aires, y actualmente, las casas antiguas, los restaurantes y el tango le dan al lugar una atmósfera particular. Los domingos por la mañana, hay un mercado de pulgas en Plaza Dorrego, en donde pueden encontrar todo tipo de antigüedades y artesaníasm y un montón de personajes peculiares.

    The best time to walk around San Telmo is either on Saturday or Sunday, as the main streets become pedestrian. During the week there's traffic and many people rushing in the streets. It's true that at the weekend it becomes a tourist spot, but you'll also get to see one of the best antiques markets in town, as well as buskers singing and dancing tango. It's the cobbled-stoned streets and the old buildings which make this place unique and a must-see. BTW, at night the place is very nice too (lots of lights). It's got some good restaurants and bars.

  • Directions: Just ask a taxi driver to take you there. It's about 10 minutes from downtown. There's no subway going to that area, but you can take the 152 bus.
