Abasto area

Abasto

This part of the city is like a continuation of Almagro – they are next to each other and their styles are very similar. Closer to the center, this area goes from Av. Córdoba to Rivadavia, and between Pueyrredón and Medrano. Here you will find a very diverse crowd at night, for example, people from all over South America heading for the many salsa clubs and Peruvian restaurants. You have a lot of different cultures here, and the prices are cheaper.

What’s around?

Like in Almagro there are many cultural centers, theaters, and all kind of bars and restaurants. Of course there is Abasto shopping center, which has a multiplex cinema, and the Konex cultural center which has plenty of great cultural activities, including the famous Bomba de Tiempo percussion group on Monday nights.

For who?

People in search of a rich local and cultural experience in a relaxed environment. Many students and artists are around.

Transportation

Subway line B and lots of buses. Very easy to get to the center, not so easy to get to Palermo.

Take note

Can be scary at night, depending on where you are. In between Corrientes and Rivadavia it’s not very well lit and there aren’t many people around, so take care.
