San Telmo

Our next stop took us to the captivating San Telmo district, most famous for the lively San Telmo Market. Luckily, we arrived bright and early, allowing us to snap some photos before the market swelled with people eager to buy and sell everything imaginable, from delicious food to fascinating antiques. Among the antiques, we spotted some remarkably old and slightly eerie-looking dolls that piqued our curiosity.

As we ventured through the rainy streets of San Telmo, we discovered its unique character and history. San Telmo is renowned for its colonial architecture, a testament to Buenos Aires' rich past. Many of these old buildings have been lovingly preserved and transformed into charming shops, cafes, and galleries.

One delightful pitstop was the Solar de French, a hidden gem adorned with a captivating display of colorful umbrellas suspended in its courtyard. This quaint spot adds a pop of color to the neighborhood, even on gloomy days.

Our rain-soaked adventure led us to the Plazoleta Dorrego, where despite the weather, the stage was being set for an exciting day of street tango dancing. This lively tradition is a testament to the city's vibrant culture and love for dance. San Telmo has a strong connection to tango, making it a hub for dance enthusiasts from around the world.

Amidst the drizzle, we couldn't help but be charmed by the resilience and spirit of Buenos Aires, where culture and history come to life, rain or shine. Czytaj więcej
