Greetings to all Hive friends! This post is dedicated to a mini tour I did yesterday through the famous and colorful neighborhood of La Boca, it's been several years since I visited this place and I didn't remember how lively it is.

It is a neighborhood that has many characteristics and is visited by numerous tourists throughout the year, photographers and artists are attracted by the colorful place, by the activities that take place there and by the gastronomy it offers.

The name is due to the fact that this is the place where the mouths of the creek where they flow into the Río de la Plata are located. Nearby is the Almirante Brown Bridge and the Rock Sud neighborhood on the other side.

It also limits with the localities of San Telmo, Barracas, Puerto Madero and Avellaneda, being this last one already belonging to the province of Buenos Aires south.

El nombre se debe a que en este lugar en donde se encuentran las bocas del riachuelo dónde desembocan al Río de la Plata. En sus adyacencias se encuentra en puente Almirante Brown y el barrio de Rock Sud hacia el otro lado.

También limita con las localidades de San Telmo, Barracas, Puerto Madero y Avellaneda, siendo ésta última ya perteneciente a la provincia de Buenos Aires sur.

One of the best known features is a place called Caminito, it is an alley where there are usually numerous artists and artisans selling and exhibiting works, paintings and souvenirs, plus on Sundays there are couples dancing tango.

Unfortunately the day of my visit was not very crowded and these activities were not present, it was a very cold cloudy day and the truth is that the place was a little empty of both visitors and local activities.

Una de las características más conocidas es un lugar llamado Caminito, es un callejón en dónde suele haber numerosos artistas y artesanos vendiendo y exponiendo obras, pinturas y souvenirs, además de que los domingos hay parejas bailando tango.

Lamentablemente el día de mi visita no fue muy concurrido y éstas actividades no estuvieron presentes, fue un día nublado de mucho frío y la verdad estuvo un poco vacío el lugar tanto de visitastes como de actividades locales.

Despite all the picturesque of the place it is advisable to visit during the day because at nightfall this neighborhood is usually quite dangerous, so it is also recommended not to go away from the streets and areas that are touristy.

A pesar de todo lo pintoresco del lugar es recomendable hacer visitas durante el día ya que al caer la noche éste barrio suele ser bastante peligroso, por ello se recomienda también no alejarse de las calles y zonas que son turísticas.
