Puerto Madryn, Province of Chubut, Patagonia, was founded on July 28, 1865, when 150 Welshmen of the ship “The Mimosa” named the natural port “Puerto Madryn” after Loves Jones Parry, who was Madryn Baron in Wales. The settlement grew as a result of the railway track laid between Madryn and Trelew was built by Welsh, Spanish, and Italian immigrants. Puerto Madryn is protected by the Golfo Nuevo, which is formed by Peninsula Valdés and Punta Ninfas .
