Our last day in the Buenos Aires capital is dedicated to exploring the San Telmo neighborhood.
This neighborhood has a lot of charm and a great personality. We walked around, enjoying its squares, parks, terraces and markets. The old mansions were divided into what they call conventillos, blocks of flats for poor families, although nowadays artists and bohemians occupy them.
San Telmo neighborhood
It is worth mentioning the antiques market in Dorrego Square, San Telmo market and another one in a nearby building in Pasaje de la Defensa and the Belén Church.
Antiques and crafts, that is what you can breathe in this bohemian neighborhood.

We rest for a while at the hostel before getting our backpacks. Our flight leaves at midnight.
We take a taxi to the Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport, on the way we find a political meeting, thousands of people cut the streets and we have to look for an alternative route, thank goodness we have plenty of time.

The taxi driver informs us that all these people live in the humble neighborhoods known as Villas. In exchange for their votes, the government allows them to get electricity and water for free, and the counterpart of this vote is to attend all the rallies for those who provide them with buses to get around.
Dorrego Square
We arrived at the airport without any problems.
