Known for its bohemian charm, San Telmo is the neighbourhood of arts, antiques, tango and timelessness. It's a nice area to wander around on any day of the week but Sundays are the most exciting time to experience this unique and alluring ambience. People of all nationalities flock to Plaza Dorrego for the weekly antique fair Feria de San Telmo.
Artisans, musicians, street performers and antique vendors come from near and far to share their treasures and their talents with the public. Antiques market on Plaza Dorrego is filled with stalls. The assortment of antiques is available, from jewelry, dresses, coloured soda siphons, tango records to pricey antiques. Even if antiques aren't your thing, it's a great place to browse and people watch.
Defensa, San Telmo's main street, becomes pedestrian zone on Sundays. Musicians and artists set up all along the way, from tango orchestras to solitary singers and street performers. Arts and crafts from local artisans are for sale up and down the strip. Many artists set up on Calle Humberto, selling every manner of tango art: paintings, pictures and sculptures.
And if you get tired of strolling, take a rest in one of the many cafes where you can sip an espresso and nibble on a fresh pastry, or have a lunch in one of San Telmo's nice restaurants.

Hasta hace 30 años, San Telmo era un barrio marginal que sólo mantenía, como expresión de su valor urbano, la arquitectura colonial y de principios de siglo, en descuidados edificios, deteriorados por el tiempo. En 1970, con la intención de impulsar una recuperación del barrio, la por entonces Municipalidad de Buenos Aires dispuso la creación de una feria de objetos viejos en la Plaza Dorrego, una tradicional plaza seca ubicada en el rectángulo formado por las calles Defensa y Humberto I, con dos pequeños pasajes. Al principio, tan sólo algunos particulares se juntaron los domingos a vender antigüedades heredadas, ropa de época, curiosidades y libros raros. Hoy, 28 años después, la Feria de San Pedro Telmo es uno de los atractivos turísticos más importantes de la Ciudad, promocionada internacionalmente, reúne unas ocho mil personas por domingo y ofrece en sus 270 puestos de antigüedades todo tipo de objetos, con el acompañamiento de números artísticos, vendedores ambulantes, cantantes de tango y estatuas vivientes.
La Feria apuntaló la recuperación del barrio: los puestos crecieron, ocuparon los comercios de los alrededores y muchos de ellos se convirtieron en prestigiosos anticuarios de exclusiva mercadería, viejos caserones fueron reciclándose en restaurantes de categoría, y artistas de variedades comenzaron a presentar sus números en las calles al calor del movimiento de turistas y visitantes. En la actualidad, en la Feria pueden encontrarse desde curiosidades que formaron parte de la vida cotidiana del Buenos Aires pasado, como fonolas, libros, discos y revistas de colecciones agotadas, hasta valiosas antigüedades, ropa de época, mantillas y bordados.

| | | | San Telmo: Bohemian-chic | Tip Rating: | | | | |
San Telmo is one of the oldest city's neighbourhoods. You can see it from the faded elegance that this area was once one of the most wealthy parts of Buenos Aires. The yellow fever epidemic at the end of the 19th century caused many to die and many others to move to parts north of the city what is now Recoleta. This left San Telmo with empty mansions that soon became home to the struggling Italian and Spanish immigrants, transforming the district into mosaic of diversity and culture. Today San Telmo has been beautifully restored, fusing the old with the new, and making it a microcosm of true porteño culture.
The labyrinth of cobblestone streets, containing traditional local cafes, book shops, antique shops and art galleries all lead to Plaza Dorrego, the oldest square in Buenos Aires which becomes an outdoor antiques market on Sundays. Tango music and dance can be enjoyed in this square or at a venue such as El Viejo Almacen, devoted to this melancholy art form. There have been some efforts to regenerate this historic district and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires houses experimental artwork in an old tobacco warehouse.
Due to an inexplicable sense of sensuality, colour and passion, San Telmo with Plaza Dorrego can be easily called the 'Paris of South America'. Directions: a small, almost square-shaped barrio, bounded by Av. Chile, Av. 9 de Julio, Paseo Colon and Parque Lezama; bus 152
