Stores in Once

The zone around Corrientes avenue is known as Once, this is where I took this picture. Currently, more than 25,000 shops are registered in Balvanera. This is the place where tons of Jewish fabric stores can be found. It is of course a very bustling area, and a such a fantastic neighborhood to go pay a visit.

Avenida Corrientes in the Barrio Once

Once is a part of Buenos Aires characterized by its low-price commerces, which makes it a great place for shopping. The name Once comes from the railroad terminal located at the center of the barrio, Once de Septiembre that comes as well from the 11 of September of 1852. There’s a huge Jewish community, as well as lots of Asians.
