Caminito, known as “little path” in Spanish, is a historical street situated to the South of La Boca. This historical place is lined by bright and colorful old houses of the Italian immigrants who were in the street to work on docks. Benito Quinquela Martin and his artist friends created Caminito which resembles the look of ancient La Boca. Houses in this exciting and captivating area were painted by an artist named Jaun Quinquela Benito. The street became popular in the 1950’s with tango dancers and artists. This area is great to stroll around and see the pretty buildings which are constructed using wood and metal scraps from the port.
It is the first outdoor museum in the world with a solid Tango theme. You can witness numerous tango dancers and artisans all over the street. Caminito is always filled with travelers from around the world. The street is home to artists selling amazing arts, and beautiful crafts. There are several street vendors on the street selling interesting items. The street has a few cafes that offer tango performances. Visitors also can find nice souvenir shops, art sellers, restaurants, and bars. In reality, the street is more authentic than the people say. The painted buildings along the street are just an exhibit, no one lives there now. It is not advisable to visit this area after 6:00 p.m. A visit to Buenos Aires will not be perfect without a visit to this amazing multi colored street.
