Weekend Getaways - San Pedro - Feria de las Colectividades

San Pedro is a touristic town that atracts mainly people from Buenos Aires and Rosario, two of the largest cities in Argentina.

There are many fairs anf festivals organized there yearly mainly promoting their main products like flowers,oranges,peaches and Ensaimada ( a yummy Mallorcan treat.)

I happened to visit during the "Feria de las Colectividades" which is held right at the main square of the city.

There were many kiosks with the usual trinkets seen in argentine fairs but also some excellent asados done right on the main street, where you could buy meat and sausage sandys.

small city or large town it has the ideal combination of picturesque streets with beautiful architecture left over from times of wealth and a nice view of the river from a park perched over the small cliffs that surround the city.

there are also a variety of restos that offer the traditional parrilla and some more contemporary cuisine.
