• Retiro - This English neighbourhood is the best introduction to our tour as it has deep roots with football

• Plaza General San Martin - Located in Retiro, Plaza San Martín is one of the city’s oldest squares and was the site of several historic events. A decisive battle took place here during the second British invasion of Buenos Aires in 1807, and, in 1812, General San Martín chose the area to locate the barracks of his mounted granadiers regiment, reason why the square was named Plaza San Martín to mark the centenary of the independence hero’s birth in 1878.
  The squares current design owes much to French landscaper Charles Thays, who designed many of Buenos Aires’ parks and squares. As well as containing examples of several native and foreign trees, the square contains several important monuments and sculptures.

• Estadio Alberto J. Armando (La Bombonera) - The Museo de la Pasión Boquense invites visitors to enjoy an outstanding sporting experience. Entry to the museum includes a guided tour of the installations, pitch, changing room and warm-up area. During the tour, the guide will tell you the story of the legendary “bombonera” stadium, why it’s named the “chocolate box,” and how it’s developed over the years, plus more anecdotes from the club.

• Caminito - Located in La Boca, the Caminito (little path, in Spanish) is a street museum of colourful painted houses typical of the immigrant dwellings that came to characterise this portside area towards the end of the 19th and start of the 20th century.

The Caminito followed the route of an old stream that once flowed into the Riachuelo, and later, after the river dried up, formed part of a railroad route. After the closure of the railroad, the street was largely abandoned until in the 1950s a group of neighbours decided to regenerate the area and local artist Benito Quinquela Martín began using the tenements as his canvas.

Today, there are several works by Argentine artists incorporated as part of the street museum and the Caminito has become a favourite with visitors to the city. Several restaurants offer tango and folk dance shows and street fills with artists offering original crafts and paintings.
