San Telmo, a central barrio in Buenos Aires, was once an upscale residential area and now exudes an atmosphere of ‘old mansions and faded glory.’ This historic neighborhood, with its cobbled streets and charming, well-worn facades, has become a haven for artists and musicians. Today, visitors can explore the picturesque lanes, browse through the fascinating little shops, and immerse themselves in the tango culture that thrives here. The area’s rich history and vibrant artistic scene make it a unique and engaging destination.
