Since the 1960’s this park in the Recoleta district, also called Plaza Intendente Alvear, has hosted what is commonly referred to a “ferria hippie”, a street fair featuring artisans and craftsmen vending their wares every weekend. The government has stepped in to regulate it, making sure that the crafts sold reflect integrity and the indigenous culture rather than a culture of bootlegging and cheap products. The park is also a wide expanse of flora and home to the Recoleta Cultural Center.

Two blocks from the apartment, great place to relax.
It's okay as a whole. It's really great.
The Monument in Plaza Francia was presented by the French in 1910 on the occasion of Argentina's one-hundred years of independence. It is located directly across the street from the Museo de Bellas-Artes.
¡What to say about Plaza Francia! I spent all my childhood and adolescence enjoying them. The Portians called it La Recoleta, because there was a monastery of Monjes Recoletos in the past. Plaza France is one of the most important destinations for every visit to Buenos Aires. There you will meet with the Recolta cemetery (with a lot of history and graves like Eva Perón), also the Church of the Pillar (one of the most expensive churches chosen for marriage) the crafts fair of the weekends, cafés like La Biela where Borges sits next to Bioy Casares to drink coffee, old English telephone cabins, teens thrown on the grass on weekends listening to some singer who surely version to Silvio Rodriguez or Pablo Milanes. And many more things ...les I assure.
