Weekends are a great time to go shopping in BA. Many of the regular stores are closed and vendors/artisans come out and set up open air stalls in many of the plazas. This weekend I decided to hit up both Feria Plaza Francia near the Recoleta Cemetery and Feria Plaza Serrano in Palermo Soho. At both plaza's, vendors sell everything from jewelry, handmade scarfs, sweaters, leather belts, etc. Seeing that I was in the market for a belt (yes, seems I might be losing a tiny bit of weight-yay), the Plaza Francia fair had plenty to choose from. I scored a handmade (on the spot) leather belt for $38 pesos or about $10 USD.

While I was at Plaza Francia, I checked out the Church of Nuestra Senora del Pilar built in 1732. This church is immediately adjacent to the Recoleta Cemetery.
The Plaza Serrano fair is quite similar to Plaza Francia however with a slight twist. All of the bars and dance clubs in the plaza (there are many) revamp their interiors to accommodate individual vendors selling their wares...pool tables and disco balls not included.
