San Telmo

GENERAL
This is where history starts, and if you want to be part of if, pay a visit to Plaza Dorrego. Here you can see what Buenos Aires should have been in the late 1800's. Beautiful houses make this neighborhood what it is right now, but unfortunately they need some paintings. The rich and famous used to live here before they moved to Recoleta due to the outbreak of yellow fever. Nowadays it is an area where you can escape from the busy city center, drink you café con dulce at Plaza Dorrego and enjoy the free tango performances in the weekend. It is said that this is where Tango started. If you have been in Palermo you will see similarities, but San Telmo is definitely less hip and happening. But give it a few years, because a lot of reconstruction is going on, and we expect that San Telmo is a rising star in Buenos Aires. South of San Telmo you will find the bus-stops at Av. 9 de Julio and north of it lies the harbour of Buenos Aires with it's breathtaking views on the city skyline and of course Puente de la Mujer.
