- Category: Outdoor/Flea/Green Markets
- Location: Matadores
Fodor's Review:
The best handicrafts in town and an authentic gaucho atmosphere make the trek west to the traditional Feria de Mataderos well worth it. As well as stalls selling great-value mates, asado knives, boleadoras (gaucho lassos), and leather goods, there are usually traditional dance performances. Look out for real-life gauchos wearing woolen berets, scarves, and baggy pants wandering round with a horse or two in tow. Part of the experience is chomping through a vaciopan (dripping steak sandwich) from the immense barbecue; wash it down with a plastic beaker of vino patero (semi-sweet red wine). The subte doesn't go to Mataderos; take Bus 126 from outside the Retiro train station, or take a taxi (about 15 pesos from downtown).
- Open: Sun. 10-5
