Beyond the well-known landmarks and barrios of Buenos Aires, another city remains largely unseen by most visitors. Venturing away from the traditional sights to some of the "forgotten" neighbourhoods unveils amazing stories and gorgeous buildings. Barracas, Nueva Pompeya, Parque Patricios and Boedo are the urban grounds of old factories, street murals, secret societies, working-class project housing, remarkable churches, parks, bridges, traditional bars and significant people.

This a journey into both the past and present of the working-class sectors of Buenos Aires, discovering the leading parts played by everyday workers and immigrants, as well as the tramways, railroads, tango and soccer, in the city's historical script.
