Sunday in San Telmo ... has to be seen to be believed

We´ve been staying in San Telmo area. Found a couple of very comfortable locals, lots of antique shops, coffee shops and several markets in the San Telmo Plaza area ... but on Sunday, this place is HUGE.

The square is filled with antique market stalls, and the streets leading into the square are filled with various market stalls (many featuring tango themes).... but the whole of Defensa Street (as well as many side streets) was filled with people, stalls, tables from local bars, and street theatre. There was even a 12 piece orchestra, complete with piano, which seemed to move up and down the street. What a spectacle!!! Wish you had been here Lou and Mike!

The antiques were amazing ... LOTS of weapons, silver cutlery, jewellery, clothing, religious artefacts etc, etc, etc ... and LOT of gross crap!
