Argentina - Buenos Aires, Feria de Mataderos
The Feria de Mataderos (Mataderos Fair) is a lesser known - located further away from the city center – attraction. It attracts thousands of visitors on Sundays, although during our visit - many years ago - it seemed if we were the only foreign tourists.
The folk market and fair is held in the streets, opposite the former Mercado Nacional de Hacienda (National Livestock Market) in the working-class Mataderos neighbourhood. Merchants in hundreds of stands offer (handmade) crafts, as well as traditional Argentine cuisine. There is also a stage - the fair started with singing the national anthem - where musical shows and folklore dancing take place. In one of the streets we saw gaucho’s horse riding, contesting each other in a kind of game.
