If one does not know who/what Mafalda is/was, this is a complete waste of time. Could not believe that adults were seemingly excited to have their pictures taken next to this sad little troll.

There she is sitting on a bench outside a cafe in the heart of San Telmo. Sometimes there are crowds queuing to have a photo, but sometimes there is nobody there and you can just sit with her and tell her anything. On market day you will find her everywhere, t-shirts to mugs and a whole lot more and the children love her.

An unmissable spot for those who love Quino’s characters but also as one of the most recognizable symbols of BA. Lots of memorabilia in nearby shop.

I guess this attraction makes sense if you know who Mafalda is. I personally love her and have since I was a child so for me was a dream come true to see her in Buenos Aires. We went on a Monday so no many ppl around but I know on weekends gets very busy and you have to line up to get a photo!

Whilst I am not familiar with the comic it was great to see all the characters along the street. In fact, you can get just as much fun watching other people's reactions!

I love Mafalda! However, I'd never stand on line, for more than 1 hour, to take a quick picture, and get out quickly. If you go, try to either go early, or definitely not on weekends. It's tremendously crowded. But, do check out the street market where this is. It's worth it.

During my visit, at my suprise, I could see that the whole statue had been painted in green... All of it, face included! So she looked more like Hulk than Mafalda.... and actually, why would Mafalda wear a green dress at the first place?

¿qué locomoción desde el obelisco me deja cerca de mafalda?
Written May 13, 2017
Hola Namoncura, si está en el Obelisco lo más sencillo es tomar el Metrobus que va siguiendo la avenida 9 de Julio. Colectivos 59, 67 o 39. La parada donde debería subir es Obelisco Sur, yendo con dirección al sur. Y bajarse en la parada de la calle Chile. Desde allí camine hacia el río, son unas 5 o 6 cuadras nada más. En general todos los colectivos que van hacia el sur, tienen parada cerca, pero recuerde que siempre lo dejarán sobre 9 de julio, luego debe caminar. Saludos.

En que horario y que dias abre el kiosco donde se venden recuerdos de Mafalda ??
Written March 9, 2017
Hay un kiosko en las inmediaciones, a unos metros, pero hay otros comercios en la zona donde venden souvenirs y cositas temáticas sobre la nena genial. Tal vez ayude que intentes entrar en la página Mafalda Oficial. Saludos

Where is it possible to buy Mafalda souvenirs (except from san telmo fair as i am not in BA on a sunday...)
Written April 5, 2015
You can find Mafalda Souvenirs in almost every shop in Buenos Aires. Just in front of Mafalda s statute, on the sidewalk you'll find at least 3 different shops
