We’ll meet up in one of San Telmo’s oldest bars, a historical landmark that has been around since the 1860s to start the tour off right with an aperitif.

For the main course we’ll head to another neighborhood classic. With decor reminiscent of a traditional grocery store or “almacén”, this restaurant beloved by locals serves some of the most outstanding food - and wine - you can find in all of San Telmo.
