About this experience
In the neighborhood of San Telmo is the most classic tango house of all time, El Viejo Almacén. It has offered shows since 1969 and preserves the architecture and atmosphere of the tango culture. The house has a unique magic in which the cultural barrier between different nationalities ceases to exist and everyone is united by one of the greatest expressions of any culture: the language of music. It has a Dinner & Show proposal, with a menu of international cuisine a la carte and an extensive wine cellar with the best national wines. Then, any audience is delighted with an excellent sample of tango made up of prestigious dancers, the famous Quintet of El Viejo Almacén and two renowned national singers who play some of the traditional songs in the history of tango.
