The San Telmo Street Market

This is one of my favorite things. I have been in street markets in Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina and I love mingling with the people and seeing what things people have made (or consider worth selling). This is one of the best... 

Every Sunday (as I recall) there is a Street Market in the San Telmo District of Buenos Aires.  Within walking distance of most of the major hotels this makes a wonderful outing, especially if it is a nice day .  Loads of antiques, a variety of artists, plenty of street musicians (all types), other street artists, decent restaurants in the area... this is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. 

A couple of old guys, apparently better known in an earlier time who can still tango a bit. Photographed on the street in the San Telmo neighborhood. 

(This is another one of my favorite pictures.)

A stall at the marketplace with more and different artwork...

Another colorful booth from the marketplace...  Silverware, decorated and antique china.. Unique tableware of all descriptions...
