The San Telmo neighborhood in tourist guides is best known for their Sunday market. The old cobblestone streets are lined with blocks and blocks of tables with music, clothing, art, toys, and antiques. You’ll also smell the aroma of grilled meet wafting through the streets which will entice you to stop your shopping for a moment and snack on a choripan (chorizo sausage sandwich). However if you wander off the main market street you’ll be delighted with other sites of a simple old neighborhood and old tango schools and milongas. San Telmo is the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires so many of the buildings and architecture is beautiful to see. It is also home to many of the contemporary art galleries and museums which are a super place to hide from the heat!
However if you come on any other day of the week – it’s a pretty quiet neighborhood. These photos represent a few different sides of San Telmo as I went to the neighborhood a few times during my stay in Buenos Aires and each time it felt different!
Great pictures! You really capture the spirit of the place. Love that colored pencil photo 🙂
I loved the San Telmo neighborhood, and the market. Great photos!
Your photos are amazing. One picture says so much!
Fantastic shots, I love open markets!
Your photography just gets more and more mesmerising each article. Beautiful.
These photo’s are great – i’d love to be able to spend the time away and visit areas of interest and would love it more to be able to capture it the way you do.
I’ve been to the San Telmo market years ago – your shots definitely do it justice! Need to get back to Argentina soon and gorge on a massive steak!
Fabulous article!
I really love the photography here. The one of the boys playing the fooseball looking game is great. You’re absolutely right, sometimes when you visit a popular place outside of the busy or touristy days, then you can have some amazing experiences..and have the place to yourself!
Cheers for the post 🙂
