La Bombonera Stadium - home of Boca Juniors

Back in Buenos Aires, on our final day we all went to the neighbourhood of La Boca. After a walk around and coffee in El Caminito we ventured a few blocks over to La Bombonera Stadium, home of the mighty (or not so mighty this season) Boca Juniors. You certainly don't see terraces, razor wire, huge fences and grubby changing rooms in many Premiership grounds! The tour was fascinating, so much history and passion in a club that adores Diego Maradona so much he doesn't even have to pay for his seat anymore and will keep it for his entire life.

Can you stop Diego's seat - it's the LARGE yellow one (any excuse for an insult!)
