Buenos Aires Markets
Palermo Hollywood/Viejo ***
area. it's not big, but has a mix of shops and an open air market in a
circular park area. If you are near that area it is worth checking
out...
Feria de Mataderos.
*****
Best colorful market in Buenos Aires, very authentic with many stalls
selling good crafted leather and other hand made objects.Great
empanadas! Gaucho horse racing worth checking out.
San Telmo:
****
The San Telmo Antiques Fair of Buenos Aires is centered in the small
Plaza Dorrego, which is transformed each Sunday morning into a flea
market, with hundreds of booths selling everything from used tourist "junk"
to pricey antiques. It is a great place to browse and people watch.
Many sidewalk cafes surround the San Telmo market, so the atmosphere
is quite festive. San Telmo is the heart of Buenos Aires' tango
district, and we were delighted to see a couple dancing for small
change in one of the market's open areas.
Recoleta:
***
The park surrounding the Recoleta Cemetery also has an artisans'
market on Sunday afternoon. If you love hand-made jewelry, sweaters,
or gifts, then you will love the Recoleta artisans' market. The
Recoleta market starts a little later than the one in San Telmo, so
you can go to San Telmo first and then take a taxi to Recoleta to see
the artisans' market and the famous Recoleta Cemetery.
Any questions, please
