The Neighborhood

The rich past of the Abasto neighborhood can still be clearly seen in its streets, as Tango grows in popularity throughout the world, and where the inhabitants of the small homes clearly contrast with the opulence of new hotels and the Abasto Shopping Center, a huge art deco building of historic importance which used to serve as Buenos Aires’ central produce market.

The Abasto Central Market

The Abasto Market building, was the main produce market since its inauguration until it was closed down in 1984. After several years of standing abandoned, it was converted to a state of the art shopping center, bringing cultural and economic tourist life back to the neighborhood. 
The Abasto Shopping Center is located along Corrientes Street, between Anchorena and Agüero. Officially reopened in 1998, it is the largest commercial center in Buenos Aires, with over 180 shops, an extensive food court, indoor parking, 12 screen cinema, an amusement park, and children’s museum – the only one of its kind in all of Latin America.

Carlos Gardel "El morocho del Abasto"

Carlos Gardel, one of the most important Tango singers of all time, spent part of his childhood living in the Abasto neighborhood, in the 700 block of Jean Jeuares street. He was nicknamed ¨el Morocho¨ (the Dark One). He started singing at the very famous "cantina" called Chanta Cuatro, where you can find the "Carlos Gardel's Corner". Once he became famous, he purchased a house for his mother in the same block, where there is now a museum dedicated to his life and art (Carlos Gardel Museum).
