San Telmo with love and humor. (Free tour)
San Telmo is full of stories. Struggles, loves, paradoxes, and mysteries. Tragedy and comedy, from Pedro de Mendoza to Mafalda.
San Telmo in its founding, the colony, the British invasions, independence, the Holy Federation, epidemics, immigration, tango, bars, Peronism, dictatorship, and the rise of tourism.
- Lezama Park, the origin.
- Defensa Street, when the English attacked.
- Dorrego Square, the heart of the neighborhood.
- Church "of San Telmo" (external view), which was not Telmo, nor a saint, nor does it have a church.
- Good Shepherd Prison (external view) and Martina Céspedes: the disobedient women.
- Antigua Tasca de Cuchilleros (external view), the love of Margarita and Juan Cruz.
- Giuffra Passage and the day Mariano caught a fortune.
- Faculty of Engineering (external view) or the Evita Foundation.
- Casa Mínima and Zanjón de Granados (external view), the myth of the freed slave and a great archaeological work.
- Farewell with Mafalda
My wish is that you fall in love with my neighborhood.

Guide: Damian
Tours since 2023I have been a resident of San Telmo for more than 10 years. I have a passion for knowing and telling the stories that appear around every corner. I am a guide by vocation, social worker, stand-up comedian, traveler, guitar player and grandfather. I love communicating with substance, empathy and good humor, entertaining, meeting people from all over and, of course, walking.
