A
Iglesia de Santo Domingo
On the south side of the plaza Indepencia, the Iglesia de Santo Domingo and its convent date from the 1930s, but reproduce the Moorish style of the 17th-century building they replaced. Take a peek at the striking algarrobo (carob tree) doors of the attached Archivo Histórico Provincial around the corner on San Martín.

Cathedral
The center of town is the beautiful tree-filled Plaza Pringles, anchored on its eastern side by San Luis’ handsome 19th-century cathedral. Provincial hardwoods such as algarrobo were used for the cathedral’s windows and frames, and local white marble for its steps and columns.

San Luis Train Station
Also stroll over to the handsome former San Luis Train Station for a look at its green corrugated-metal roofs and decorative ironwork dating from 1884. Rumors abound that the bus terminal may be moving here, but so far there's no sign of that happening.

C
La Plazoleta
San Luis' most frequently recommended restaurant is a definite step above the competition in terms of service and atmosphere. The menu is fairly standard, with the odd Mediterranean or Middle Eastern surprise thrown in.

Bahia Café
For plaza-side cafe action and frenzied, middle-aged waiters, you can’t go past the Bahia. At night they put tables out on the plaza in front, making it a great spot for drinks, snacks and people-watching.

E
Mercado Artesanal
Dominican friars at the mercado artesanal, next to Iglesia de Santo Domingo, sell gorgeous handmade wool rugs as well as ceramics, onyx crafts and weavings from elsewhere in the province.

Las Pircas
A friendly neighborhood parrilla with excellent prices (maybe thanks to an outrageous amount of advertising on the menu) - try the bife de chorizo or a whole grilled kid goat.

Los Robles
One of the town’s few upmarket parrillas, this one has great atmosphere, attentive service and a menu that goes way beyond the usual offerings.

The Movie
A vaguely cheesy ‘theme restaurant’ that actually turns out some pretty good food. Best thing – it’s open very late for full meals and drinks.
