area in colonial days, full of antique shops to the picturesque district
of La Boca, 2 miles south of the main port area, on the west bank of the
river Riachuelo. This former port from the turn of the century was settled
by many Italians from Genoa who made their homes from corrugated iron
sheets, painting them with all the colors of the spectrum. Along the colorful
street of Caminito (name of a famous Tango) sit local artists, painting
and selling their wares.
