You will continue to La Boca. Its name (“The Mouth”) is due to its location: at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata where the Riachuelo flows. It was the historic port of Buenos Aires before it was moved further north of the city for technical reasons (shallow water, sandbanks…). The district was the refuge of the immigrants, especially Italians between 1880 and 1930. Nowadays, La Boca owes its popularity to the street “Caminito“, where there are heaps of small humble houses, made of coloured sheet metal. It is the Argentine painter Quinquela Martin, native of the district, who is at the origin of the first mismatched paintings of the small street.
