On Saturdays and Sundays there is street fair in San Telmo. There are lots of street artists and antique booths and stores. If you want big heavy old Argentine furniture, this is the place to go. Its fairly touristy but most all the tourists when we there were Argentinian. This is the neighborhood where the Bush twins partied and Barbara Jr., had her purse stolen as she was surrounded by secret service agents. You have to give credit to that thief for hutzpah. Street markets and fairs seem to be everywhere, many supposedly much cheaper than San Telmo. I think they are similar to the Paris flea market, the way it was 40 or 50 years ago. I imagine it won't be long before US antique dealers start filling shipping containers with this stuff to sell in Houston and LA.
