Get a slice of Argentine life at the Mataderos market

Mataderos is a local handcraft market on the outskirts of Buenos Aires that also offers traditional food. People will dance the tango in the street with live music provided by local singers. It is very informal. The food is served in small portions like appetizers, and includes flavors from different provinces in our country. They serve empanadas and other dishes that may be eaten with your hands. Sometimes, there are gauchos playing a well-known game called El Juego de la Sortija( the Game of the Ring). Also, it is located far away from any touristic neighborhood in the city. It’ s only accessible by local bus or taxi— there isn’ t a nearby subway. It is open on Sundays from noon until around 5 p. m.
