Pictures by yours truly.
Caminito is a smorgasbord of eye candy. It lies within the Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is a must see in B.A. Today my husband and I went there wide-eyed and awe-struck just trying to take it all in. It was like a childhood fantasy come true with all the colorful buildings painted bright all side by side.
The story behind it: Between 1880 and 1930 many Italian immigrants came to the port La Boca. The Italian immigrants brought their proud traditions of painting the outside of their house to La Boca and used leftover paint from the shipyards.
Traditionally this is a poor community and this remains true in the surrounding areas. Be careful with your belongings and avoid going too far into the neighborhoods nearby.

Wow, those photos are amazing. I want to visit sometime.
I also want to paint my future house odd colours.
What a very colorful neighborhood. If my neighborhood was that colorful I think I'd be able to start each day with a smile because I just can't get enough of all those happy colors.
I really love these vibrant photos!

What beautiful photos! It's so fitting that the neighborhood was settled by Italian immigrants -- These homes remind me of the houses we saw last summer on the Italian island of Burano (famous for making lace ... and for its rainbowesque residences). Gorgeous!
How fabulous!! I love the pink painted wrought iron balcony railing. What fun!
what a wonderful journey...thank you for sharing so much with us. we'll still be here when you come back to the states.
These are SO gorgeous -- I agree; absolute eye candy!
