Vintage in San Telmo

The well-known Feria de San Temo, may very well be one of the nicest markets in Buenos Aires. Every Sunday the elegant neighbourhood San Telmo, particularly Defensa street, transforms into a big gathering of little stands filled with antique trinkets, paintings, wine holders, maté cups, vintage clothes and much more. The streets are filled with a variety of people, such as tourists who are trying to find the cheapest treasures or locals who are just walking around for a while and taking in the crowded little streets.

A meeting place for artists

This market makes you feel like you are in the famous neighbourhood Montmartre in Paris, France. You are surrounded by artists trying to sell their artistic work such as handmade rings, necklaces and earrings and other street artists that look like they come straight from the circus. Moreover, there are countless musicians playing local music and people are dancing the tango in the middle of the street.

Walk a bit further in the direction of Plaza de Mayo and you will see a little courtyard where local people are usually grilling all kinds of meat (in big portions, so beware). There is also a band playing jazz or soft rock music. This is a great place to experience an “asado” like the porteños – the local people of Buenos Aires – do.
