The antiques market at Plaza Dorrego is already a classic among tourists visiting Buenos Aires!
For more than 35 years, 270 stands are set up every Sunday at 11AM, at the Plaza Dorrego (at the corner of Humberto Primo and Defensa street), where all kinds of merchandise representing a big part of Buenos Aires’s glorious past, are displayed.
The selection is varied and comprehensive, and a careful look at the goods will help you understand the multicultural background behind today’s Argentine culture. Elegant fans and scarves brought by Spanish immigrants escaping from the civil war, pottery brought from Germany and England, delicate Italian embroideries…and, of course, traditional elements of the “gaucho” culture are an integral part of the offer in San Telmo.
