Feria de Mataderos
It is a fair of production and diffusion of the Argentine popular traditions. It is located in front of the "Mercado Nacional de Hacienda," a National historical monument. The many sale stands surround the monument to the cowhand. (the one who did the old trade of leading the cattle on foot in long distances.)
The walk has three areas: traditional handicrafts ("mates," hats, leather items, musical instruments, etc.), artistic festivals, and "gaucho" skills. This last one includes rides, breaking-in, and ring races.
