With heavy importation taxes, Buenos Aires isn't somewhere you'll want to pick up electrical goods but when it does excel when it comes to outdoor markets selling local produce and unique souvenirs.

If you like eat healthy visiting El Galpon it's a must regardless of your eating habits. They have a very traditional parrilla outside to enjoy roasted vegetables and pork products. If you fancy vegetables, there are two stands delivering them in the inside of the fair.

As the name suggests, "Puerto de Frutos" was once a stopping place for fruits making their way to the capital.
Today, the fruit is gone and in its place are vendors selling souvenirs, restored furniture and places to find a meaty steak, tasty choripan and/or delicious churros.

Abasto is a good shopping option if you're wanting some basics and also somewhere with a bit of culture and architectural interest. The building itself is incredible and was in fact built by the same constructors as "La Bombonera" (Boca Juniors home ground).

As many who come to Buenos Aires will know,the markets along "Defensa" street in San Telmo are not to be missed and they're certainly fun but the indoor market of "Mercado San Telmo" is that extra bit special (probably because it is still less discovered).

Almost every day of the week (and especially on Sundays) Plaza Dorrego will be entertaining in one way or the other. During the week you will find tango dancers performing to whoever will watch them then on Sundays the square is filled with every conceivable antique you can find.

If you like books or not, El Ateneo is definitely something to go and marvel at. The well kept stalls, cornices and lighting is quite stunning, as well as the lines of books filling empty spaces (particularly when looking from above).

If you're struggling to find some essential items then this is always a good place to go . The building itself is actually quite stunning, with its Parisian style exterior and ornate details and frescos inside. Stores within can be a bit more expensive than other shopping centres but sometimes there are items that are a must!

Wandering around this indoor market is incredible in itself. You will find yourself coveting every single sweetly sanded and beautifully painted piece of furniture. Lying between the area of Colegiales and Palermo Hollywood, there's a real sense of creativity, resourcefulness and vibrancy about this place that draws you in.

There's probably nothing better than wandering around a bookshop and Walrus stocks English speaking second hand books so if you're not quite ready for Spanish speaking books (like me) then this is a good place to find a decent read.
