This purely artistic tour will show you around every aspect of the contemporary art in Buenos Aires including master artisans of silver and “fileteado” artists. “Fileteado” is a type of painting typical from Buenos Aires characterised for using spirals, strong colours, recurrent use of symmetry, three-dimensional effects through shadows and perspectives, and overloaded surface use.
Then we will continue on foot through the picturesque streets of the area knowing its history and that of the Argentine products recognised worldwide, such as mate and dulce de leche. In the heart of the area, we will visit the emblematic San Telmo Market and the premises of two of the most important Argentinian silversmiths. Finally, we will go back to the past by sharing a coffee in a traditional Café.
