Next stop: San Telmo, one of the oldest neighbourhoods with an intact Porteño atmosphere: galleries, antique shops, indoor market... Famous outdoor fleamarket every sunday around the Dorrego Square.
Continue your visit with the picturesque neighborhood of La Boca, host to the small alley of El Caminito, where painters, tango dancers and singers meet between the ancient colourful wooden houses.
Visit of the "Los Pibes del Playón" cooperative, producers of Los Porteñitos alfajors
In 2001, a serious economic crisis hit Argentina. Numerous cooperatives were born in that period and are still operating today, such as Los Pibes del Playon, producers of the first hand-made alfajores in Buenos Aires (typical argentinian biscuits). Visit the cooperative cafe and listen to the story and experience of this place told by its participants.
With the help of your hosts, cook some typical alfajores - and resist finishing the dulce de leche... You can take the alfajores with you or donate them for the social food courts.
