Today we visited one of the more famous areas of Buenos Aires that we hadn’t yet been to, San Telmo. We had heard mixed reviews of the place, so went to take a look for ourselves… What we found was a touristy sort of bohemian area of blocked-off streets, not super exciting, but not disappointing either.
Numerous musicians and street performers were plying their art in the streets. Some were quite good, playing a Django Reinhardt sort of fast-paced gypsy jazz…
Others were mere tourist sideshows…
The architecure was nice. Much of it reminicient of New Orleans…
I wish I had taken more pictures, but amidst the tourist hordes we wanted to look like locals… Anyway, there’ll be plenty more chances to explore San Telmo in future.
