This review will be much the same as the San Telmo market, as you will see many of the same vendors. The main difference here is that you can see what's happening at the awesome Recoleta Cultural Centre. Man, I couldn't believe the variety and quality of the offerings. At least half of the vendors were selling actual hand made artworks and crafts- colourful and unique, many vendors actually making stuff right at their stalls. This is NOT a place for crappy mass produced 'made in China' souvenirs. I only wish I had more room in my luggage so I could support these artisans. The prices are very fair considering much of what's here is original and hand made. In addition, nobody was charging me 'gringo prices', so please refrain from haggling- you'll only ruin it for the people who appreciate it here. There must be hundreds of booths, so take your time. There will be food vendors and maybe live entertainment as well. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday in BA.…

This flee market’s in Recolecta every Saturday. I went here after visiting the Bellas Artes Museum to avoid the heat. There were so many things on sale, though I thought the one I went to in Cordoba have more creative handcraft products?

This place is the best for souvenirs. They have a lot of stalls selling the same things, so go around once before buying to see where the best price can be found. It's cheap, it's in a beautiful park right by the magnificent Recoleta cemetery, and it's now conveniently close to the Facultad de Derecho Línea H subte stop. Things here are definitely touristy and quirky, as most are made by hand, but what's wrong with that? If you're a tourist, get some touristy things with "Buenos Aires" stamped all over it.…

handcrafted and authentic that's what it's all about. You will be even able to use a credit card when paying, surely you'll find something you like. Earrings, bags, carpets, dolls, and much more.
