San telmo
One of the oldest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, to the south
of Plaza de Mayo. It still preserves streets with cobbles stones
and many colonial houses, some of which were declared historical
patrimony of the city.
You might say that the neuralgic center of San Telmo is Plaza
Dorrego. This square is about ten blocks away from Plaza de
Mayo, at the corner of Humberto Primo and Defensa. It is
bordered by coffe shops and several antiquarians. There is an
open market of antiques that takes place every Sunday named
"Feria de San Telmo" that is worth seeing.
Many artists and craftsmen, as well as young couples, have
chosen to live in San Telmo since they enjoy the atmosphere and
caracther of the place.
