Probablemente salir a un centro comercial resulte siempre un buen plan, pero en mi caso, me resulta fascinante poder conocer parte de la historia de la ciudad, a través de sus calles coloniales y la arquitectura preservada desde esa época.

En Buenos Aires, los edificios de antaño se consiguen en cada cuadra, al igual que las calles adoquinadas están en alguna transversal tanto de capital como de provincia, pero si deseas verlo todo en conjunto, visitar la zona de San Telmo es hacer un viaje al pasado.

Aquí cada esquina tiene una historia que contar, un mural que admirar, un café para merendar y hasta algún personaje que con su performance saque una sonrisa a locales y extranjeros.

Y aunque en muchos edificios vemos también graffitis y otras expresiones no convencionales de arte callejero, estas se complementan de tal forma que no resultan molestas sino que le dan un toque ecléctico digno de una ciudad grande como Buenos Aires.

Es por eso, que San Telmo es una parada obligada para los turistas que llegan a la ciudad, y que se pueden distinguir no solo por sus ropas, sino por sus acentos. Justo ese día encontré un grupo de brasileros que iban caminando y hablando en portugués, para su suerte no dijeron nada sobre mi, pues iba entendiendo todo lo que decían!

Durante toda la semana se puede disfrutar de pasear por sus calles y degustar algo de la gastronomía local, pero los fines de semana su vibración cambia, y el movimiento de personas y los artistas de calle, se avivan mucho más.

Si gustas de las artesanías, existen tanto locales como vendedores informales que ofrecen gran variedad, o puedes entrar al gran mercado de San Telmo, donde se encuentra un poco de todo, que de seguro no saldrás con las manos vacías de ahí.

Y por supuesto, no puede faltar la presencia de la niña más querida de Argentina, Mafalda, quien a pesar de tener ya 60 años, sigue estando vigente con su actitud desenfadada y protestataria. Así que quien no la haya conocido previamente, termina haciéndolo e inclusive llevándola consigo a través de un souvenir.

Going out to a shopping mall is probably always a good plan, but in my case, I find it fascinating to get to know part of the history of the city, through its colonial streets and the architecture preserved from that time.

In Buenos Aires, the buildings of yesteryear are on every block, just as the cobblestone streets are in some cross section of both the capital and the province, but if you want to see it all together, visiting the area of San Telmo is a trip to the past.

Here every corner has a story to tell, a mural to admire, a café to have a snack and even a character whose performance brings a smile to the faces of locals and foreigners alike.

And although in many buildings we also see graffiti and other unconventional expressions of street art, these complement each other in such a way that they are not annoying but give an eclectic touch worthy of a big city like Buenos Aires.

That is why San Telmo is a must stop for tourists who come to the city, and can be distinguished not only by their clothes, but by their accents. Just that day I met a group of Brazilians who were walking and talking in Portuguese, luckily they did not say anything about me, because I was understanding everything they were saying!

Throughout the week you can enjoy strolling through its streets and taste some of the local gastronomy, but on weekends its vibe changes, and the movement of people and street artists, become much more lively.

If you like handicrafts, there are both local and informal vendors that offer a great variety, or you can enter the large San Telmo market, where you will find a little bit of everything, and you will certainly not leave empty-handed.

And of course, you can't miss the presence of Argentina's most beloved girl, Mafalda, who despite being 60 years old, is still alive with her carefree and protestant attitude. So whoever has not met her before, ends up doing so and even taking her with them as a souvenir.
