After everybody is together, we will head to the Feria de Antigüedades de San Pedro Telmo (San Pedro Telmo Antique Fair). This fair has taken place every Sunday since 1970 in the Plaza Dorrego and Calle Defensa, areas which become pedestrianized especially for this traditional event each week. More than 10,000 people, many of whom are tourists from all around the world, flock to the 270 stalls each Sunday. Orchestras playing music for tango dancers in the streets, live statues and other street performers as well as the antiques themselves and the cultural value really make this Feria worth the visit.

San Telmo and Mataderos Fair with an excellent guide

5.00It was a rainy Sunday when we visited San Telmo Market and Mataderos Fair. Silvia was an excellent guide. She made the market visit very interesting and showed us a lot of artists we would have overseen. She has a profound knowledge about different handcraft work, historical buildings such as the Pasaje de la Defensa or the the Mercado de San Telmo. On Mataderos Fair she recommended different specialities such as Humita, which we would have never tried without her. We enjoyed being with her and can truly recommend Silvia as a guide.
Lovely day for shopping and eating and shopping and eating!
