Working Class La Boca Barrio
Working Class La Boca Barrio

Working class “La Boca” is a barrio of Buenos Aires, famous for its colorful houses and home of the Boca Junior soccer team. Italian immigrants settled there, at the mouth (“boca“) of the Riachuelo river, giving the place a strong European feel. Today, the pedestrian streets are popular among tourists and local artists, as well as tango performers. A few streets away is the home of Boca Junior, the Bombonera. Diego Maradona´s famous club is always packed with action and all the shops around the stadium sell fútbol memorabilia.
