Just south of the Plaza de Mayo there is a neighbourhood called San Telmo. It is made of smaller streets and on Sundays it is packed with a street market of all sorts of things, some very nice, some quite typical. It was also of course packed with tourists!
It is quite a nice place with cobbled floors and little shops, and people going around selling sandwiches, empanadas, tea/coffee (carrying a whole trolley full of flasks, of the type that you would yourself take to a picnic). Buenos Aires seems quite a nice place for markets. I have seen a few so far (of course it is the weekend here). You also find a lot of music outside, and in this case some Tango shows on the street!
After this walk (again quite long) I headed back to the tube and to my little corner of BA where I bought some empanadas and enormous alfajores (sandwich made of biscuit and dulce de leche, covered with chocolate). I then proceeded to sit in a park with a Starbucks tea and my alfajor. The park was packed with people, families and youngsters... I thought it was quite touching that I stayed for like an hour with some dad and his girl hitting me repeatedly with a football while they played (in their defines it was mainly the girl...). It seems these things don't change!
Tonight I am having empanadas and wine... :)
