San Telmo is significant in the History of Buenos Aires. it served as a an arrival point for thousands of immigrants who had to endure harsh living conditions in tenement homes.

There are food vendors and local restaurants. If you get hungry, wait until you are several blocks down (away from Plaza de Mayo) before grabbing a bite to eat... the first restaurants get packed and can be rediculously busy. If you like empanadas, there are a few locally owned shops that make great ones along the way. I started around 10am and was out around 2pm.There is a nice italian restaurant nearby The street fair at San Telmo, has lots of Tango street performers, musicians (even a walking band with drums), artists, etc. Parts are kind of like a flea market with older items, and parts are like a clothing boutique area.

For more infomation please and I will get back to you at my earliest convenience.
