Plaza Dorrego market, in San Telmo neighborhood, has been in place since 1970. Initially, only antiques were offered. Today, it is a traditional place where Argentine and foreign tourists may take a walk. Every Sunday, around eight thousand people fill the square and a great variety of objects are offered in the 270 stands of the market.
On Sundays, in the streets
surrounding the square, you can see different
artistic
tango and folklore shows in addition
to plastic artists exhibitions. The market
is in the heart of the traditional San Telmo
neighborhood where many of its old big houses
of the 19th. century were recycled to become
antiques shops and first class restaurants.
This market offers from "fonolas" (old record players), second-hand books, tango records and sold-out magazines to valuable antiques, costume clothes, mantillas and embroideries. Additionally, you can get tango dance lessons at the center of the square.
