On the Sunday before leaving Buenos Aires I visited San Telmo – the largest antique and vintage market in the city. BA is created in blocks, much like New York – the market covered 4 or 5 blocks - and as you walk along the way there were food stalls, entertainers – brazilian drum bands, puppet shows, spanish guitarists, artists, tango – basically, it was brilliant. One of the reasons I've fallen for BA is the San Telmo area, and the market culture – very laid back, very creative, very cool.
On my final night in BA a group of us got taxis and headed to the outskirts for a night called 'Bomba De La Tiempo' – a Brazilian drum night, in a warehouse. I've added a couple of clips below which hopefully give an idea of the night we had in there – fantastic music, everybody dancing and bouncing – shirts off – proper sweaty! After that back to Milhouse and partied at the hostel. Happy happy days.
