Poverty in San Telmo
Like La Boca, San Telmo is a poor area of Buenos Aires and one where you watch out for your bag/belongings. On the streets of San Telmo we saw a group of men living on the pavement in plastic rubbish bags and cardboard boxes. It was a well established living area. It was a shocking sight - as bad as I have seen in third world countries - and not something I felt I could take a photo of.

Then just round the corner you can visit the most amazing Sunday antique market, which not only has stalls laden with antiques, but also has many shops piled high with beautiful antiques. See the Photo Gallery for one or two pictures.
