San Telmo ("St. Pedro González Telmo") is one of the oldest barrios (neighborhoods) of Buenos Aires, Argentina and also one of the best preserved areas of that constantly changing Argentine metropolis, with a number of colonial houses and streets still paved with the original cobblestones (adoquines).
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.
A similar barrio (neighborhood) is Pichincha, in Rosario city (300 km north of Buenos Aires), with its own antiques fair: "Mercado de Antiguedades Feria Retro La Huella".
