Palermo Soho (Viejo)
Feria Artesanal Palermo Viejo
Location: Plaza Armenia, Malabia and Costa Rica in Palermo Soho
Total number of stands and set ups: 35-50
When: Saturday and Sunday + Holidays, 11 am to 7 pm
Generally offered: A mixture of hand-made goods, clothing and random stands (ex: Bonsai trees).
Comments: If you are in Palermo Soho (Palermo Viejo) this is a nice stop for general exploring and keepsakes. I have personally picked up a few wedding and birthday presents here. Be sure to follow either Malabia or Armenia towards Cordoba (ask someone if you do not have a map) to lead you to the heart of Palermo Soho. Frozen yogurt shops, specialty tea houses, high end clothing, boutique designers and much more!
Feria de Plaza Serrano aka Feria Artesanal Paseo Cortázar
Location: Plaza Serrano, corner of Serrano or Borjes and Honduras in Palermo Soho
Total number of stands and set ups: 35-50
When: Saturday, Sunday + Holidays 11 am to 7 pm
Generally offered: The round-about is lined with bars and restaurants that temporarily convert into designer clothing shops and boutiques. This is a great place to find unique clothing, plus you get more of a hippie vib in the inner-plaza. Sticking with its roots Plaza Serrano offers a lot of alternative jewelry, “tobacco” pipes along with hand-made goods.
Comments: If you are in the area it’s worth a look, plus it is about 6 blocks from Plaza Armenia where the Palermo Viejo fair is held each Saturday and Sunday. Walking and exploring Palermo Soho with the two of these fairs as your destinations in the same day is highly recommended.

Feria de San Telmo (Plaza Dorrego)
Sunday 10am to 4pm (Some activity on Saturdays)
A visit to San Telmo’s famous market is a highlight for visitors to Buenos Aires. The market is centred around the Antiques Fair on Plaza Dorrego, with crafts stalls extending down the cobblestone Calle Defensa. It has a lively atmosphere with street performers, tango dancers and hundreds of artists and artisans setting up stalls on the sidewalk. At the end of the day, as the stall holders pack up, the bars start to fill up and couples pair up on the cobbled square to dance tango. Well worth sticking around for!
The heart of San Telmo is Plaza Dorrego. It hosts a famous and hugely popular antiques market on Sundays, when nearby streets are closed off to vehicular traffic. Hundreds of street stalls sell both antiques and modern knickknacks while buskers work the crowds. There are also good donation tango shows, but watch your bag.
Plaza Dorrego is much calmer on other days, when tables are set up for peaceful dining.

COLONIA DEL SACRAMENTO, URUGUAY
The old city of Colonia, which holds the main attractions, is quite small. It can be easily walked in a single day. There are shops where you can rent bicycles, scooters or golf carts which you can use to ride around the city or in to the countryside. For a few pesos you can go up to the top of the lighthouse (faro) for a view of most of the city and the river. Outside of the city there is a semi-abandoned amusement park with Uruguay's only bullfighting ring, no longer in use. Basilica del Sanctísimo Sacramento
Yerba mate, the local drink of choice. Every single person here carries around their own cup and bombilla, so when in Rome...
