The town was founded on 28 July 1865, when 150 Welsh immigrants arriving aboard the clipper Mimosa named the natural port Porth Madryn in honour of Sir Love Jones-Parry, whose estate in Wales was called "Madryn". Puerto Madryn is a destination for wildlife-lovers around the world. Visitors can take a boat to see the whales up close in the Valdes Peninsula and can walk among the penguins, observing their natural habitat, in the Punta Tombo penguin colony.
what??? i'm from there and my first language is welsh, i live in a town near there were 50 thousend people speak welsh as a main language you can't say that
Hola Matías, Puerto Madryn es una ciudad hermosa. Cuál es la ciudad cercana en donde 50.000 personas hablan galés como primer idioma? Me gustaría saber ya que me encanta conocer la riqueza cultural de nuestra hermosa Argentina.
@@solmar284 se llama Gaiman y también hay otra que se llama Dolavon, esa región es conocida como "y wladfa gymreig" que significa "nueva galés, no todos saben hablar galés pero la mayoría si, yo fui a una escuela galesa ahí
Yo vivo en Trelew, ciudad fundada por el galés Lewis Jones, sin embargo decir que "casi todos" hablan el galés en Gaiman o Dolavon, es mucho. Creo que se mantiene vivo por escuelas que lo enseñan, así como el Eisteddfod, un certamen cultural no solo en lengua galesa sino también española. (I live in Trelew, a city founded by the Welshman Lewis Jones, however to say that "almost everyone" speaks Welsh in Gaiman or Dolavon is a lot. I believe it is kept alive by schools that teach it, as well as the Eisteddfod, a cultural event not only in the Welsh language but also in Spanish. )
@@solmar284 si hay, y también hay otro pueblo galés en la cordillera, se llama "Trevelin" y la ciudad en la que vivo "Rawson" también es galesa, asique ya sabes jajaja
A few years ago, nearly 90% of Puerto Madryin's population were Welsh, nowadays due to Bolivian inmigration almost 1 out of 2 people there are Bolivians
The Welsh colony part - was not well researched at all, and was rather dismissive. The town was founded by Welsh immigrants, yet the Welsh connection took about 10 seconds of coverage. Puerto Madryn really isn't difficult to pronounce either.
Hi Garth … what I was trying to convey … and probably failing … was that they hoped to set up a community in Argentina that they could live in a way that they thought was disappearing “back home”, which included creating an area where the Welsh language could grow and thrive. My Grandmother was Welsh and nothing would have made me happier than to hear people speaking Welsh. Unfortunately, certainly all of the people there who we spoke to, didn’t. ☺️

... and that is probably the best thing to do, book a trip, rather than staying in the town as we did.
After what successive governments have done to Britain, we should ALL have gone.

On the beach in Puerto Madryn you can see the caves where the original Welsh sheltered when they first arrived in the 1850's.
Oh I wish we’d known that before we went!!

The real question is, can you wear a divers watch there without fear of getting robbed?
… now that’s a question I can’t answer! 😄

En gaiman ay una comunidad galeses
¿Hablan muchos galeses allí?
@@MandyandAntonysTravels si ay son descendientes de galeses todos
@@MandyandAntonysTravels every one speaks welsh there, absolutely everyone
Hay*
No solo Gaimen , tambien Dolavon y Trevelin son fundaciones galesas como tambien lo es Madryn y Trelew donde se celebra el EISTEDFODD PATAGONIA
How many Argentinians know the connection between Tom Jones and Gareth Bale? Seriously.
Not really sure why you say that the move by the Welsh to preserve language and culture didn’t really work.
