La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina, colourfully painted houses in the harbour district around the El Caminito alley. Figures of Argentinian personalities greet you on a balcony above a shop. La Boca emerged at the end of the 19th century as a neighbourhood of Italian immigrants, most of whom worked as industrial workers. Today, the working-class neighbourhood is popular with tourists, partly because of its original houses, often built from the sheet metal of scrapped ships and brightly painted with ship paint, South America
