The best way to unwind after the excitement of Boca was to spend a lazy Sunday wandering the San Telmo markets. San Telmo is the tango district and every sunday has a huge market down the length of Defensa Avenida and spilling into those running off it. Each side is crowded with markets and street performers, including the Tango.
We were told everyone is good at one part of tango, but never all three ' either the dance, the song or playing the music. There were hundreds of other types of performers and some very cool cafes you could watch it all go by.
We spent our last full day exploring more of the Palermo district and Recoleta ' the more expensive part of B.A and probably least favourite. Within Recoleta is the Cemetery de Recoleta which has streets and alleys running between family mausoleums of some of B.As most important and wealthy families. The sculptures would be better placed in art galleries. Recoleta also has Bullers Brew Pub and we managed to work our way through the Light Lager 4.5%, the Wheat 5.5%, the Honey 8.5%, the Oktoberfest 5.5%, the Indian Pale Ale 6%, the Irish Stout 5.5% and a few wines in the afternoon.
On recomendation we went to La Cabrera restaurant for our last night. On a Monday we still had an hour and a half wait during which they gave us free wine. This place should be a must for anyone visiting, the food was brilliant with about 8 sides with your steak, more free wine and a lollipop.
