About
Datos rápidos: Brightly colored houses line the street, creating a lively and artistic atmosphere where tango dancers often perform for enthusiastic crowds. Small shops and cafés invite visitors to soak up the vibrant culture while admiring murals that tell stories of the area's immigrant past.
Destacados: The street is famous for its vibrant, colorful houses painted in bright shades of blue, yellow, and red that were originally made from leftover paint from nearby shipyards. Every day, local tango dancers perform passionately in the open air, offering impromptu lessons and creating a lively atmosphere filled with the sounds of accordion and guitar.
