Also located in Recoleta is the Feria Plaza Francia. It is an arts and crafts fair where artisans come from all over Argentina every Saturday and Sunday to sell their goods. As you walk down the old cobbled stone sidewalks you can find anything from homemade ponchos to jewelry to mate cups (Mate is the national drink of Argentina). Many local artists also come to the fair to show off and sell their paintings. These paintings make for perfect souvenirs.
If you happen to be in Buenos Aires on a Thursday you can observe Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo. These women have created an association for mothers whose children disappeared during the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983. Every Thursday at 4:30pm mothers and grandmothers march in front of the Pink House in Plaza de Mayo and demand to know the truth about what happened to their sons or grandsons. It is very emotional to see. If you are curious to learn more about these abductions, you can ask any of the mothers or grandmothers and they will tell you their own personal story.
looking for an elegant night out, you will find El Viejo Almacen more than fabulous. 
e a knowledgeable tour guide around, you can learn about some of the most interesting tombs such as the ones pictured. La Recoleta Cemetary is a must see.
