Amo este barrio de la Boca, para mà es el encargado de enamorar a cualquier turista que la visite, las casas viejas, sus colores, sus artesanos en una perfecta combinación con la cercanÃa del rÃo hacen de la boca el lugar ideal para conocer la historia del tango y la tradición argentina. Caminito, tradiconal calle llena de arte. Ir los fines de semana es todo un desafÃo ya que se llena de gente.

A translation of Josefina A.’s comment into English:
I love this neighborhood of La Boca, for me it is responsible for inspiring love to any tourist who visits, the old houses, their colors, their artisans in a perfect combination with the mouth of the nearby river makes La Boca the ideal place to learn about the history of tango and the Argentina tradition. The Caminito, a traditional street full of art. It is a challenge to go on the weekends because it is crowded.
