La Boca Argentina Shot Glass

La Boca is a neighbourhood, or *barrio*, of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. It retain its strong European flavour, with many of its early settlers being from the Italian city of Genoa. The neighbourhood is best known for its brightly painted buildings, particularly along the Caminito, a narrow street which is now a pedestrian zone. The vibrant colours are a legacy of the area's history; residents would use leftover paint from the docks to jazz up their corrugated metal and wood houses. It is a place where tango dancers perform on the street and art vendors display their work.
