If you come to Caminito on the weekend, you will also be able to do a little souvenir shopping the Feria de la Ribera arts and crafts market, which starts at the front of Caminito and goes around in front of the Riachuelo river. Here you will find handmade crochet scarves and shawls, traditional mate gourds and bombillas (the metal straws used for drinking mate), jewelry and lots of other interesting craft pieces, all at reasonable prices, especially if you are coming to Buenos Aires from the United States or Europe.
And if you work up a hunger after wandering through Caminito and the feria, I can recommend an authentic Italian Pizzeria nearby in La Boca - which I have reviewed in an earlier post: Banchero Pizzeria. The restaurant also happens to have been a favorite of Benito Quinquela Martin, the architect of Caminito, so it is a fitting end to the outing - and delicious too!
