Caminito Street - neighborhood La Boca Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Caminito street, of hardly 100 meters in length, is pedestrian and of her so many things can be said, that it deserves a chapter aside.

CAMINITO; It is a as small street as particular. In her there are no doors. Some windows, some full balcony of plants and hung clothes to dry. Their painted walls of different colors remember Venice to us. In them there is all type of murals, ceramics and different adornments.

It was in the beginning simply a branch of the Railroad, earth flood, grassland and stones. To the place was called it - the curve -, the one that soon became - caminito- that shortened distances. That was famous "caminito" by that Juan de Dios Filiberto journeyed to newspaper, who soon wrote the tango that takes its name. The initiative to put that name to him to the street less arose nothing than from its friend Benito Quinquela Martin, great Argentine painter.

Today it is a tourist street, nonsingle visited by the foreigners, but by Argentineans of all the country, proud of that so colorful place. They are the thousand all week ends.

Una foto muy linda que me recuerda una parte que no pude visitar en B'Aires. Es que en aquella época, cuando fui, el 1:1 peso/dolar hacía que todo fuese extremadamente caro. ¿Qué es esa construción metálica al fondo?

great capture of the colourful housing, the wire on the right is a bit distracting, but well done

Les voyages vers l'Argentine depuis mon pays sont rares et cette vue de votre capitale est très bien composée. Il y a juste le cable élecrique en haut à gauche qui me gène un peu mais sinon les couleurs sont superbes. Bravo!

Los viajes hacia l'Argen desde mi país son raros y se compone muy bien esta vista de su capital. Hay exactamente el cable eléctrico en cumbre a la izquierda que me gene un poco pero si no los colores son magníficos. ¡Bravo!

Great shot, Ricardo. This colourful street is very interesting and I like the way you captured it full of people. Well seen.

Very interesting place! And nice daily life photo. The POV is very interesting and the colors great. You could probably clone out that wire in the top left because it's a bit distracting.

Nice and different view of Caminito captured from a nice angle. You was in one of the buildings, right? Well, I used BA like a entry point to SA and I like it very much from the first moment, and I felt very good there.. I was positivly surprised with the city.
