EL CAMINITO

El Caminito, little walkway, is the cobblestoned strip of colorful houses, tango and soccer-obsession in the La Boca neighborhood. The birth of the tango, “Caminito” is an unlikely story of a musician and a poet, both of them tango experts, and how their friendship with an artist, a painter who gave the name to the street, sparked the creation of that tango

It is a delightfully touristy contrast to the gritty neighborhood known more for their soccer team and immigrant housing in conventillos (community style living) and remains an entry area for the less-well-heeled immigrants arriving in this thriving city.
