On Sunday, we took a few hours to explore the San Telmo market. We rode the subway to the neighborhood and had time to wander through the twelve block long street market that ended at the Plaza de Mayo.
The street vendors were set up with tables and tents and most of the shops and cafes along the street were open too. The variety of items to purchase that included: flags, paintings, clothes, antiques, and jewelry. Many of us were impressed with the handcrafted items that were on sale and that the prices were generally reasonable. It was a great place to buy gifts for family and friends or a souvenir for yourself.
If you’re not interested in purchasing any of those items, there were of course empanadas, choripan, and fresh orange juice to buy as well. After we ventured through all twelve blocks and finished at the Plaza de Mayo, we headed back to the hotel to drop off our new things.
