La Boca and El Caminito

Tango was born in Buenos Aires. More specifically, it was born in La Boca, supposedly inspired by the Caminito area.It is the setting for the other biggest futbol team in BA, Boca Juniors. A well-known player called Maradona came from there.  I took a bus from my hostel to El Caminito and was not disappointed. It's a photographers paradise with colourful buildings, graffiti everywhere and a massive blue and gold stadium. I spent a good half day just walking around and enjoying the sights here. It was a look into the less privileged side of the city. The pictures do not do it justice.
