Feria de Mataderos: A Traditional Market...
This traditional fair located across from the cattle market (Mercado de Hacienda) brings a little countryside to the city. Artisans offer traditional crafts made from silver, wood, textiles and ceramics, as well as regional food like empanadas, tamales, tortas fritas (sweet fried pastry), alfajores and mate cocido, a local infusion. There is also a small music and dance festival and skilled demonstrations of horsemanship and "gaucho." Visitors should try their luck at the game of sapo, climbing a lathered pole
This popular arts and crafts market, located in the southwest of Buenos Aires between Lisandro de la Torre and Av. De los Corrales, has all that you want from a good ol’ traditional market, and much more besides
Mataderos’ means slaughterhouse, and porteños used to come here to drink the blood of freshly slaughtered animals in the belief that it would cure their coughs and colds and broken legs
if your idea of the perfect Sunday is a bargain-hunt or two, a cold beer and a sausage in a bun, a spell of cheesy live music and leg kicking folk dance and the odd display of manly gaucho muscle, you can’t go far wrong by coming here.
For a taste of 'el campo' in the city: gauchos on horseback, live folk music, dancing in the street, tasty food, and crafts at great prices. Not to be missed
