What does La Boca mean?

1 published definition

La Boca

A traditional Buenos Aires neighborhood where European immigrants settled in the late 19th century, living in famous tenement houses called conventillos. The name means the mouth, referring to its location at the mouth of the Riachuelo river (it is a historic, colorful area famous for tango and the Caminito street).

Shall we go for a walk in La Boca, visit Caminito, and listen to some tangos?
