Barrio de San Telmo
Defensa 1200, Buenos Aires, ArgentinaTel: Not available
In 1871, with the outbreak of Yellow Fever, these mansions were soon overtaken by squatters, creating the city's historic conventillos (tenement houses). Indeed, it was not until 1970 that an edict stipulated protection for property owners. Today the neighborhood of San Pedro Telmo is an important historic corner of the city. Locals and tourists alike flock to the Plaza Dorrego on the oldest street in the city, for the antique market and vibrant street performances, including tango, held on Sunday from 10am to 6pm. On the corner of Independencia and Balcarce streets is El Viejo Almacen, a traditional tango establishment.
