San Telmo Market Tour
We will meet up at Plaza de Mayo and head towards the San Telmo Market. Since 1897, this building has brought visitors and local residents together.
We'll start by walking down Calle de la Defensa, one of the oldest streets in Buenos Aires. Along the way, we'll discuss the city's history and stop at the Manuel Belgrano mausoleum. Then, we'll continue towards the Mafalda Statue for a photo opportunity.
Finally, we'll arrive at the San Telmo Market. Inside this historic building, you will discover numerous market stalls selling local products, including meats, fruits, fresh vegetables, antiques, books, and vintage cameras.
We'll stroll among the market stalls, stopping at one of the most popular eateries specializing in Choripán, a chorizo sausage sandwich. Here, we'll try this dish and an empanada, alongside a glass of wine.
Our next stop will be at a traditional stall selling dulce de leche, where you'll taste an authentic Argentinian alfajor, along with a surprise gift to end the tour.
