La Boca is located in the SE part of Buenos Aires at the mouth of the Riachuelo. It's colourful, touristy in parts and tougher in others. The home of Club Atlético Boca Juniors, the stadium, the
Bombonera looms. Full of cobbled streets and brightly-painted buildings (and hawkers), the
Caminito area is a great place to take pictures. We had a pretty good meal at La Perla smack-dab in the middle of it (although that meal is best remembered for my having discovered Gancia, an Italian white vermouth that is sweet yet bitter... more on that later!).
There is a very cool art centre/museum called Proa in La Boca, as well, and it is very nicely integrated into the industrial setting.

| Apparently, there's some rivalry between La Boca and San Telmo... |
