Caminito, Buenos Aires



On a cold and rainy day this colourful card dropped through my letterbox to cheer me up.

Caminito is a narrow street in Buenos Aires which has been restored and preserved as a "street museum" with colourfully painted traditional houses.  Many of the early inhabitants of the area were immigrants from Genoa in Italy, and it still retains some of European flavour.

  3. It did brighten a gloomy day. Sometimes bright colours suit only places with bright sunshine but the card was fine! :)

  4. Buenos Aires is such a magnificent city....though I haven't been there in over 17 years. I had a fabulous week there, drinking fabulous red wine and eating huge steaks every night.
