SAN TELMO
San Telmo is located in the south of Buenos Aires. Its cobble-stoned streets, colonial houses, antique stores and tango shows take us to the past. In 1871 a yellow fever outbreak forced the aristocracy to move to the area between Plaza de Mayo and Santa Fe Avenue. The enormous houses were occupied by immigrants who rented a room with common bathroom and kitchen.
Walking through San Telmo streets, especially on Sundays, when the art fair takes place at Plaza Dorrego, is celebrating a popular party. Street artists and antiquarians reveal to the tourist the secrets of the history of San Telmo. In 30s, and thanks to immigration, many sculptors, artists, ceramists, glassworkers, jewelers, goldsmiths and iron and bronze smelters, designed furniture and different varieties of objects with their own styles; a great national production began to be developed turning this district into an antique store in itself.

TANGO
The Tango was born by the end of 1800 in two cities: on the coasts of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Montevideo (Uruguay). The solitude of the Creoles and the thousands of immigrants who settled fundamentally in the port of Buenos Aires come together in the tango.
It was born at brothels houses. It was born like a dance between men and then the song came along. Most of the pain and sadness referred to in the tango is related to the immigrants’ melancholy that came alone to these coasts in search of bread and work.
It has the nostalgia of total love and in addition, it has Spanish roots. The tango is related to the Cuban Havana and the Andalusian tango.
In the mid 1990s, at the Colon Theater, the first plenary session of the Argentinean Tango Academy was performed.
Since December 11, 1977 sponsored by the Municipality of the City of Buenos Aires the Day of the Tango, has been celebrated coinciding with the births of Carlos Gardel and Julio De Caro.
