Plaza Dorrego was once the focal point of San Telmo, the main residential neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Today, the plaza remains as a popular gathering place and is commonly used for fairs, performances, and other special events. Spending a Sunday at the plaza is an excellent way to get a taste of Buenos Aires’ lively culture. Around 8,000 people gather in the square each Sunday to shop, eat, socialize, relax and sightsee. There is also a Sunday market that features close to 300 vendors, who sell everything from antiques to authentic Argentine souvenirs.
