Description
A colorful neighborhood in La Boca, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In La Boca many of the residents are of mixed European descent. Mainly Italian, Spanish, German, French, Arab and Basque.
It retains a strong European flavour, with many of its early settlers being from the Italian city of Genoa. In fact the name has a strong assonance with the Genoese neighborhood of Boccadasse (or Bocadaze in Genoese dialect), and some people believe[who?] that the Buenos Aires barrio was indeed named after it. The conventional explanation is that the neighborhood sits at the mouth ("boca" in Spanish) of the Riachuelo.

Hi Joan, Great capture. I was there many years ago. The photo certainly brings back the picturesque memories. You failed to mention in your description, La Boca is where the tango "supposedly" was originated many, many years ago. Voted!
