San Telmo is the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, the place where the city was founded in 1536 and 1580. The architecture reminds the Spanish colonial style (they're houses of 400 years!) and this makes a contrast with the ''Paris'' cultural imagination that we have of Buenos Aires.
Tango, artisans and all the history in the colonial time is what San Telmo have, a unique place to enjoy the past and the beauty of their narrow streets.
Caminito it's a zone in La Boca neighborhood. Some blocks full of colour and traditions in the South of Buenos Aires (the periphery). This place is where the tango was born at the end of the 1800's. The European immigration started here, many ships came from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland and new dreams were born in a new country.
