San Telmo (St. Peter Telmo Gonzalez) is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Buenos Aires. Was originally called Altos de San Pedro, and was inhabited by workers of the port. Together with the nearby Montserrat was the black neighborhood of Buenos Aires, called "Barrio Sur", as opposed to the "Barrio Norte" of San Nicolas. Can still hear rhythms of Afro-River Plate as candombe on their streets.
