La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina, colourfully painted houses in the harbour district around the El Caminito alley. 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. Many artists advertise their works on the pavements of El Caminito alleyway, South America
