Walking in the colourful neighbourhood of El Caminito, Buenos Aires.

ocated in La boca, El Caminito is a street museum of colourful painted houses typical of the immigrant dwellings that came to chracterise this portside area towards the end of the 19th and start of the 20th century. Hello viewers, welcome back and lets take a walk in El Caminito in Buenos Aires.

There are several works by Argentine artists incorporated as part of the street museum and the Caminito has become a favourite with visitors to the city. Several restaurants offer tango and folk dance shows and street fills with artists offering original crafts and paintings.

Caminito street is pedestrianized and has a cobbled floor and the famous landscape with brightly colored walls. The stories say that they painted the walls with the leftovers of the paint used for the boats. On the sidewalks there are stalls selling handicrafts and souvenirs related to tango and works of art that were inspired by these landscapes.

It is common to find pairs of tango dancers dressed in dance attire. They invite tourists to dance in exchange for money. The streets near Caminito have food outlets with tables in the street and the facades of the houses are decorated to maintain the style of the place.

There is also an indoor market there. As this was just before the start of the football World Cup, the stalls were filled with world cup souvenirs, which for me was like a kid in a candy store. But I successfully resisted all my urges!
