6 Points of Interest & Landmarks in San Telmo That You Shouldn't Miss
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

5.0 based on 19 reviews
Yuyú Herrera represents the traditional mixture of cultures from the Rio de la Plata region of Argentina. Born in Buenos Aires, from an Argentine mother and Uruguayan father, from creole grandparents and immigrants, she grew up with the rhythm of tango and candombe, the culture of both river banks. Her first steps were dancing to the beat of the drums and dancing tango standing on the feet of her father in the old family parties. The young Yuyú studied Sociology, Music, Theatre, Folckore Dances and Afro roots of music and dance. As an adult she returned to tango in the Milongas, learning from the embrace of the old milongueros. To prefect her tango, she studied various kinds of movement technique and tango, milonga and vals with renowned teachers. As a result of her knowledge and experience, she has developed her own style of dancing and teaching methods. Yuyú Herrera has been danced and teaching professionally since 2000.

A lively fair with performers and street vendors takes place every Sunday at the second oldest square in the city.
Reviewed By LeahSydney01
We went to the feria de domingo at Plaza Dorrego on a Sunday in summer. It is vast, much bigger than comparable markets in a Madrid or Paris. Many of the surrounding streets are in fact a continuation of the market. There is a lot for sale: clothes, jewellery, art, bags, antiques. There is a lively atmosphere enhanced by many musicians playing all sorts of music. I would revisit if I were in BA on a Sunday again. My teenage daughter, who loves to shop, really enjoyed it.
