Barrio Obrero (Asunción)

Barrio Obrero is a barrio (neighbourhood) of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. It has a population of 19,823 people. The name of this barrio comes from the word "worker" (obrero) in reference to the humble and working class people who form the majority of the population.[1]
