Argentina Barrio de la Boca
La Boca is a working-class neighborhood in Buenos Aires. It's known for its colorful houses. The area was the city's first commercial port. Its residents, immigrants of modest means, used leftover paint from ships to decorate their homes. This neighborhood was one of the birthplaces of the famous tango. It's also the origin of Argentina's two main football clubs, Boca Juniors and River Plate.
