Plaza Dorrego

Defensa 1000, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Tel: Not available
 

This historic plaza was the sight of the swearing of National Independence in 1816 before Don Juan Martin de Pueyrredon. During the colony, it was a resting post for wagons travelling from the port to what is now Plaza de Mayo along the first roadway, known today as Calle Defensa. Today it is the site of the San Pedro Telmo Antique Fair, where street performances by tango dancers, musicians, mimes and colourful characters mingle with the painters, antiquarians and street vendors in a bohemian rhapsody of song, dance and nostalgia. Ramble the colonial cobblestone streets of the Barrio de San Telmo to Avenida Independencia and Balcarce, to see El Viejo Almacen from the early colonial days, now a traditional tango bar/restaurant.
