San Telmo and La Boca are two barrios in the South of Buenos Aires known for their colorful character.

Every Sunday San Telmo transforms into an open-air market busy with people selling arts & crafts, mate cups, books, etc. You can see musicians and tango dancers perform on Plaza Dorrego. And they make great choripan at ad-hoc barbecues.

Overall, La Boca is a rather shady neighborhood, except for one street (Caminito) that features colorful and decorated shanties. Great for people-spotting, too!
