A place worth knowing

San Telmo’s covered market brings food counters, produce sellers and antiques under a roof dating to 1897. Its mix keeps the visit connected to everyday shopping as well as eating and browsing.

Walk the aisles before choosing where to stop. The permanent market is a destination in its own right within San Telmo, with enough variety to turn a short look into the food stop for a longer neighbourhood walk.
