Feria de San Telmo
On Sundays, Calle Defensa is closed to traffic and the street is a sea of people browsing the hippy crafts stalls as they make their pilgrimage from Plaza de Mayo to Plaza Dorrego. The latter is jammed with stalls selling antiques, collectibles and bric-a-brac - everything from gorgeous green and cobalt blue antique seltzer bottles to tango memorabilia; this market is officially known as Feria de Pedro San Telmo.

Mercado de San Telmo
Encompassing an entire block, this market was built in 1897 by Argentine architect, Juan Antonio Buschiazzo (who also designed the Recoleta Cemetery). With its wrought-iron interior and glass skylights, it's one of BA's most atmospheric markets. It's also where locals shop for their fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy, and the shopkeepers are real characters. You'll find fascinating stalls selling antiques, bric-a-brac and vintage clothes.
