BUENOS AIRES BARRIER-FREE BARGAINS
By Steve Wright
San Telmo, where tango is king.
Michelangelo’s tango show takes place in sumptuous 1849 building fitted with an elevator to access the upstairs performance hall.
The show is at once beautiful, moving, touristy and expensive.
The wines are excellent and the food is surprisingly flavorful for dinner show fare.
For free outdoor tango and one of the most authentic open air marketplaces going, head to Plaza Dorrego on a Sunday morning.
The cobblestone streets are tricky, the crowds a bit thick and the curbcuts a bit fewer and farther in between in this historic area, but San Telmo is accommodating enough to make it part of your itinerary.
San Pedro Gonzalez Telmo church dates to 1734 and is made readily-accessible by a large ramp in front.
TOMORROW: Recoleta
