Buenos Aires - Day 19

Again a day with perfect summer weather: 27 Celsius and a light breeze. A great opportunity to check out the Plaza Dorrego in my neighborhood San Telmo, just 3 blocks from my apartment. It's mentioned in every travel guide and indeed it's a sort of oasis from the buzzing downtown district. On Sundays it's crowded but today was just fine.
I had a cafe con leche and dos medialunes, as the Croissants are named here,....
...and my compañero chose icecream.

Later (más tarde :-) we needed something more refreshing.

It was just a great moment to sit in the shadow of the old tree and listen to some old tango music..

Later we even enjoyed a tango show. It's a common sight to see tango couples dancing in the streets (in order to collect some money later, of course).
This is one of the old buildings around the place and typical in the neighborhood. This one has a famous cafe just at the corner, the Cafe Dorrego, which I will visit in one of the next days.
