Evita is buried here:
Apparently her body was stolen when Peron was overthrown and only returned in 1971, after an extended stay in Milan courtesy of the Argentine military.
On the way to the cemetery we went through San Martin plaza - here is a photo of the famous 'Libertador', atop a horse:
Later in the day we headed south to San Telmo, where there is a famous street market on Sundays. There were old couples doing the tango, some guy enthusiatically painting rockstars (here Elvis) by throwing paint at big black canvases, and lots of other people dancing away.
