Fodor's Review:
On weekdays, a leisurely half-hour walk through the quiet cobbled streets around Plaza Dorrego affords a glimpse of what the city looked like in centuries past. The colonial building at Number 1179 Calle Defensa, a block south of Plaza Dorrego, is known as a casa chorizo (sausage house) because of its long, narrow structure. The internal Roman-style courtyards are referred to as Pasaje de la Defensa (Defence Alley). Once the home of the well-to-do Ezeiza family, it became a conventillo (tenement house) and is now a picturesque spot for antiques and curio shopping. The stores here are open daily 10 to 6.
