San Telmo and Sunday are linked by the words tango and market. Every Sunday there is a large market at the San Telmo Square in Buenos Aires. The square where you can learn to dance the tango in the evenings. At the market there is a lot of Brique-a-braque. People enjoy themselves walking along the stalls, looking and listening. This time there was an elderly couple dancing tango for the public. So, people over 60, tango is a way of life for you too!
You can spend some nice moments looking at the second hand goodies that are for sale.
For many years the bottles steal the show.
And what to think of using your old jeans for slippers.
Anything for your dinner parties.....
Of course the Mate "cups". No real Argentinian goes without them. Mind you, don't forget to carry the thermos with warm water.
Or a fancy glass for the fantastic wines they grow here.
Hats to keep the sun from your head or hide the thinning hair. What is a man (or a lady) without a hat?
Anything you might need urgently one day.... like figurines of dogs, a soft green night gown, vases, candle sticks, cups, plates....
These trendy bags made from old records. Who did think of this! Close to your favorite music from Elvis, the Beatles, the Stones, Piazzolla or Gardel all day long.
Personally I cannot get enough of these beautiful bottles. Especially the blue ones. But then what are the blue ones without the green ones or the lightly colored ones.... Why did I never buy one? I must get back soon. Maybe even better to print the picture and hang it on the wall.
