LA BOCA - BUENOS AIRES - |
||||||
LA BOCA is one of the Districts of Buenos Aires . Possibly the most colorful district of all the city. It is in this district where we found the very well-known Caminito and the houses of varied colors. Originally LA BOCA went a district of immigrants to borders of the river Brook. Even though which for a long time she was not one of the most prosperous zones of the city it was his necessity the one that until certain point provided world-wide reputation to him. According to they told us, the neighbors of la bocadid not have sufficient money to buy painting for its houses. Then they chose to use the painting leftovers used by the boats of the port. By consequent the houses they finished being painted of several colors; each window of a different color, the door of another one and the walls of several. In present the this practice it is not reflected in all the district, only in some of the tourist places. Perhaps the today colors are more showy than the original ones, but the concept and enthusiasm of those emigrants who made of this district a city well are celebrated. La Boca, along with the neighboring district of San Telmo, also is responsible by another event for transcendental influence in the culture of Buenos Aires and the rest of the world. It was in these districts where the dance of the tango was originated. We do not know history of as he happened and what our guide said (that was in the nostalgic congregations of friends and neighbors) for some reason not us to us block like absolutely logical. The important thing is that it was here where the dance called by many as “most romantic from the world” it arose. La Boca is also pride of Buenosairean soccer. Not very far from the tourist zone is an immense estadium to which we have understood call the Chocolate box to him. They did a story to us with respect to the colors of the t-shirts of the football team of this district. Is being that existed two equipment (the present and other that we did not remember its name). Both the colors of the t-shirts and the right of being were fought the equipment of Boca. Good, that was decided in a party and the other equipment was the one who gained the old colors but as decided it had to transfer to another locality. The selection of the new colors was left in the hands of the luck, deciding that they would be the colors of the flag of the next boat that made port. After one it releases delay, of several days, a boat of Sweden possibly arrived at the port and for that reason the colors of Boca now are yellow and blue.
