San Telmo ("St. Pedro González Telmo") is one of the oldest barrios (neighbourhoods) of Buenos Aires, Argentina and also one of the best preserved areas of that constantly changing Argentine metropolis and is characterized with a number of colonial buildings. Cafes, tango parlors and antique shops line up the cobblestone (adoquines) streets, which are filled with artists and dancers.
San Telmo's many attractions include many old churches (e.g. San Pedro Telmo), museums, antique stores and a semi-permanent antique fair (Feria de Antiguedades) in the main public square, Plaza Dorrego. Tango-related activities for both locals and tourists also abound in the area.
