San Telmo and Tango
This district preserves colonial-style houses along narrow cobblestone
lanes, illuminated with pretty wrought iron lanterns. In San Telmo, one
breathes the history of Buenos Aires. Visit the church of Santo Domingo
or investigate the city's cultural heritage in the Museo de la Ciudad.
The Bohemian character of the district flourishes every weekend at the
antique fair held in Plaza Dorrego and the picturesque cafés that
surround it. There, one can buy anything from an antique wedding dress
to a 1900 table setting, or one can enjoy the improvisations of the street
performers. Also worth visiting are the Pasaje de la Defensa, an 1880
mansion converted into a commercial gallery, and the picturesque street
Balcarce with its concentration of bars, restaurants and tango houses.
The Best Market
San Telmo Antiques Market, Buenos Aires:
The Sunday market is as much a cultural event as a commercial event,
as old-time tango and milonga dancers take to the streets with other
performers. Here you will glimpse Buenos Aires much as it was at the
beginning of the 20th century.
