07 Jan 2019 - Puerto Madryn, Argentina


A coastal town with lots of water sports and many bars on the beach. Warm weather and a Welsh Settlement. In the 1800’s when the British were forcing the Welshman to speak English, a group of Welsh settlers moved to Puerto Madryn in Argentina. In the Museum there is a young Latino that only speaks Spanish and Welsh. These settlers struggled as there was no fresh water in the region as well as raids from the tribes inhabiting the Falklands. They lived in Caves which they carved into the cliffs on the sea side. We walked to and visited the museum and the caves returning to loud South American music and ice cold beer on the beach.
