Even though we haven’t gotten a particularly early start to our day, at 11am we’re out earlier than a lot of folks—even some of the artisan booths aren't yet set up. Two blocks from our apartment is the Plaza Dorrego, the locus of the San Telmo Antique Fair. The plaza is the center of the antiques trade, but the fair runs along the length of Defensa, which means it goes for quite a while. It would probably be a twenty-five-minute walk to go the length, double with all of the people there on a Sunday. The vendors among Defensa sell a range of items, from artisanal goods to “rasta” (which seems to mean anything colored red/green/yellow or having to do with pot) and all kinds of clothing and random touristy stuff.
