La Boca neighborhood (Buenos Aires)

Argentina / Buenos Aires / Buenos Aires
 neighbourhood, draw only border
La Boca is a neighborhood, or barrio of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. It retains a strong European flavour, with many of its early settlers being from the Italian city of Genoa. In fact the name has a strong assonance with the genoese neighborhood of Boccadasse (or Bocadaze in genoese dialect), and some people believe that the Buenos Aires' barrio was indeed named after it. The conventional explanation is that the neighborhood sits at the mouth ("boca" in Spanish) of the Riachuelo.

  • Lo voy a escribir en castellano. La República de la Boca no es lo que era antes. Se ha perdido la esencia, solo queda caminito el puente, la cancha y nada más.
  • Lo voy a poner también en castellano: AGUANTE RIVER PLATE, abajo los bosteros y su barrio.
