We will know its natural Port, where large groups of immigrants arrived, its sheds and its recovered train station. We will enter a tenement house that served as a shelter for immigrants, and is currently a Cultural Center. We will see the Boca art represented in large murals that reflect different social problems. We will also see old buildings that housed anarchist newspapers, and brothels of the early twentieth century. Football (Boca Stadium) and La Iglesia (Salesiana) can not miss, a refuge for these uprooted groups. We will visit Caminito where we will find Tango and Fileteado in each corner.
