It's easy to focus on the buzz and banter of this crowded market, but for a lot of the stall owners it's business, albeit slim pickings. Amongst the stall owners and entertainers, I have to say I noticed a quiet desperation about them.
Buenos Aires - San Telmo
San Telmo is another district with a very popular week-end market. The line of stalls runs for a kilometre along a street and finishes in the square. Locals and tourists can buy food, clothing, bric-a-brac, artwork and antiques. There are musicans, dancers and street entertainers.
