Have you ever heard of the famous San Telmo neighborhood?

Here I will tell you about it...

San Telmo is one of the oldest and most traditional neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, an area of the country where time seems to have stopped with its stone streets and very low houses, it is known for maintaining much of its architectural heritage.

¿Habías escuchado alguna vez sobre el famoso barrio de San Telmo?

Aquí te hablaré al respecto...

San Telmo es uno de los barrios más antiguos y tradicionales de Buenos Aires, una zona del país donde parece haberse detenido el tiempo con sus calles de piedras y casas muy bajas, es conocida por mantener gran parte de su patrimonio arquitectónico.

It was one of the first places I visited when I arrived in Argentina because I already knew about the place before I emigrated and I was more than impressed with such a beautiful place.

Fue uno de las primeras localidades que visité cuando llegue a Argentina porque ya conocía sobre el lugar antes de emigrar y quede más que impactado con tal hermoso lugar.

One of the things that characterizes the place is due to the large number of antique dealers of different items, by the name of its streets from countries such as Venezuela, Chile, United States, Peru and many others.

On Sundays a stage is created for the outdoor antique fair where you can enjoy delicious typical lunches, a variety of restaurants as well as music in more streets.

Una de las cosas que caracteriza el lugar se debe a la gran cantidad de anticuarios de distintos rubros, por el nombre de sus calles de países tales como Venezuela, Chile, Estados Unidos, Perú y muchos otros.

Los días domingo se crea un escenario para la feria de antigüedades al aire libre donde se puede disfrutar de ricos almuerzos típicos, variedad de restaurantes así como también música en más calles.

"Comic Strip Promenade"

"Paseo de la Historieta"

It is impossible for me to talk about San Telmo and not mention the Paseo de la Historieta. It is a tribute to the greats of humor through sculptures in different sectors of the town, and I show you some of them:

Se me hace imposible hablar de San Telmo y no mencionar el paseo de la historieta. Se trata de un homenaje a los grandes del humor por medio de esculturas en diferentes sectores de la localidad, y yo les muestro algunos de ellos:

Finally I leave you a picture of the imposing Basilica of San Francisco located in one of the streets where the great fair of San Telmo takes place, built in 1731 and inaugurated in 1754.
