How to get there

Caminito is located in a neighborhood called La Boca, popularly known as the home of Boca Juniors football team. Caminito is located just a few minutes away by car, taking as our starting point the Obelisk (9 de Julio Av. and Corrientes Av.)

The history

Caminito is a 150 meters long passageway, created in 1950 by a group of citizens and the help of a famous artist called Benito Quinquela Martin. Before 1950, this passageway used to be the path of a railway line and when it was closed, this path became an abandon spot.

The houses, located in Caminito St., are made of wood and metal sheet and painted with bright colors. These houses have the same style and characteristics as the ones created at the neighborhood’s origin.

Although this famous spot has the name of a very well-known and popular tango song, it’s important to highlight that the song was not written about this famous street but the other way around, this street’s name was given upon the famous song.

The culture

Since Caminito has become a pedestrian street, there were many famous artists who have donated their work to be exhibit there, this way Caminito has become a real outdoor museum.

Tango is also very important in Caminito Street as it‘s name indicates. Along this passageway, we can enjoy listening to tango songs and watching couples dancing on the street.

There are restaurants and cafes that have a special atmosphere of Caminito’s history and culture where we can take a refreshment. There is also an artisan market where we can buy handmade products, paintings and souvenirs with images of la Boca.

For football fans that want to visit the museum and the stadium, it’s open for visitors everyday from 10 to 18 hs. The ticket value is $ 80.-

So now you know, jump into the shopping world of Buenos Aires In Baires Apartments we give you all the best tips so you can get the most out of our city!

When we go on holiday, the topic of food is never a small matter. Undoubtedly, part of the whole experience of discovering a new place is trying the local cuisine. However, not knowing how certain dishes are prepared and trying food that is unfamiliar can leave us frustrated and prevents us from enjoying the rest of the stay.

Choosing a hotel room with self catering facilities can therefore bring many benefits. It gives us the opportunity to eat in restaurants, but also allows us to prepare food that we´re used to.  We´re able to choose between enjoying new dishes in each place we visit and continuing with our familiar diet whilst cooking in the peace and quiet of our own private kitchen.

From an economic point of view, this is a good option, as preparing our own food allows us to save money and reassures us that what we’re consuming is fresh.

Although fast food restaurants can be a quick and cheap alternative, the reality is that we end up consuming unhealthy food renowned for its long term health risks. The best way to maintain a healthy diet is by taking a few minutes in the kitchen to pick and choose our meals. We should also take notice of the way we prepare them (choosing the oven over the frying pan for example). This also means we benefit from not feeling stuffed with junk foods, and will give us more energy which allows us to enjoy our trip more.

In Argentina, people often eat dinner between 9 and 11 PM. For those who are used to eating early and don’t want to wait this late, a self catered room with a fully fitted kitchen would be the best option.

To make sure you´re not tempted to eat out every night during your trip, here´s some advice for when you go shopping:

• Choose greengrocers, butchers, and bakers over large supermarket chains. These products are better quality and in some cases you may be able to purchase organic products (if this is what you prefer).
• Ask for seasonal fruit and vegetables. Not only will they be cheaper, but also more flavorsome.
• In certain parts of Buenos Aires there are farmers markets at the weekends. Visit them to discover unique flavors, meet the farmers and find out how they’re produced.
• Buy what you plan to use on the day, or at the earliest the day before, so that what you´ve bought hasn´t started to go off. If you change your mind about what you´re planning to eat then you won´t have to go to some sort of fast food chain or restaurant.

Along with these tips, we suggest you try this really easy recipe, suitable for even the most inexperienced cooks. Perfect for any time of year!

Ham, cheese and olive empanadas

Ingredients:

- Ready-made empanada pastry (sold in packets of 12)
- 400 grams of ‘Cuartirolo’ cheese
- 200 grams of cooked sliced ham
- Pitted olives
- 1 egg

Preparation:

1) Cut the cheese into finger sized pieces. Wrap them in slices of ham. Repeat 12 times.

2) Cut the olives.

3) Place the cheese, the ham and some of the sliced olives in the middle of the pastry discs.

4) Brush the edges with the beaten egg (this will help the pastry to bind).

5) Fold the pastry disc in half, locking in the rest of the ingredients.

6) Press down firmly with a fork along the edges to bring the layers together and close the empanada. If you want to, you can try the traditional “pinching” technique. Instructions for this can be found online.

7) Repeat with the rest of the pastry discs. Place them on a greased baking tray and brush the empanadas with the rest of the beaten egg.

8) Place in the oven until they turn golden brown (approximately 30 to 45 minutes).

Serve and enjoy!
