San Telmo Market

Back in Buenos Aires, it's Sunday, the day that the barrio of San Telmo comes alive with an antiques and bric-a-brac market along a half-mile street of endless fun and fancy goods. There's beautiful hand-crafted jewellery and great leather. No pushing or shoving, just lots of live



music and old men, eyes closed, playing seductive tango tunes on battered accordians. Wonderful vibe!
