Now if what you’re looking for is to get a glimpse of the real gaucho culture, Mataderos is definitely the place. Come visit this market for the genuine Argentinean cuisine being the meat the star of the day. If you’re vegetarian, you don’t have to worry, there are plenty of plant-based food options such as empanadas and locro. If the traditional food doesn’t sell you, then come for the artistic displays. The market often has folkloric music and dance performances as well as displays and contests of gaucho horseriding and games of Pato, Argentina’s national sport, which can be described as a bit of a mix between netball and polo. This fair is held every Sunday beginning at 11 am. Photo via Feria de Mataderos Facebook page #market #artisans #music #traditionalfood #traditionalmarket #folklore #gaucho #asado #dulcedeleche
