Feria de Tristán Narvaja
This century-old flea market stretches across several blocks of the Cordón neighborhood every Sunday, with used books, antiques, produce and pets for sale.
This Sunday market began in the early 20th century and spreads along Tristán Narvaja Street and the cross streets around it, extending for several blocks from 18 de Julio Avenue. The front section sells fruit, vegetables, cheese and snacks, while the back section offers used books, old records, antiques, stamps, old cameras, maté sets and household goods, along with stalls selling birds and pets. It is lively and full of local street life. It runs roughly from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and mornings are best. It is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings, and bargain in cash.
