Edmundo: Thank you for the comments. I went to Feria Matadores last weekend. This weekend I went to San Telmo. I`ll write later about a beautiful sign I bought in Spanish.
There are nieghborhood milongas where I´m staying in San Cristobal within walking distance. I´m going to post a review of each of them. The subway shuts down around 11 and I don´t want to rely on a bus service or finding a cab.
