In this video, we take a journey back in time through the old cobblestone streets of San Telmo and show you why this place is so much more than just a market. We'll explore the history of this colonial neighborhood, from the devastating yellow fever epidemic of 1871 to its resurgence as the city's bohemian epicenter.

2. The History of San Telmo: Discover the origins of this neighborhood and how immigration and tango forged its identity. A journey through time via its historic buildings and tenement houses.
3. Who is Mafalda to Argentinians? We visit the iconic Paseo de la Historieta (Comic Strip Walk) and explain why this little girl, created by the master Quino, is a symbol of social commentary and awareness in Argentina and around the world. A true cultural ambassador!
