Tango in Plaza Dorrego, San Telmo

While enjoying a cup of coffee, this couple began to dance in the plaza. Tango was once the dance of immigrants from the Buenos Aires dockyards and was associated with the lower classes and brothels. It wasn´t until Argentine sailors brought it to Europe through French ports that tango started to become acceptable in polite society in Buenos Aires and now it is of the most internationally recognisable aspects of Argentine culture, reflecting the style and zest of the city.
