Puerto Madryn<\/strong> (Spanish pronunciation: [\u02c8pwe\u027eto \u02c8ma\u00f0\u027ein]<\/a>; Welsh<\/a>: Porth Madryn<\/em>), usually known as Madryn<\/strong>,[2]<\/sup> is a city in the province<\/a> of Chubut<\/a> in Argentine<\/a>Patagonia<\/a>. It is the capital of the Viedma Department<\/a>, and has about 103,175 inhabitants according to the last census in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puerto Madryn is protected by the Golfo Nuevo<\/a>, which is formed by the Pen\u00ednsula Vald\u00e9s<\/a> and the Punta Ninfas<\/a>. It is an important centre for tourists visiting the natural attractions of the Pen\u00ednsula Vald\u00e9s and the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name of the city conmemorates Love Jones Parry<\/a>, one of the colonizers of Patagonia<\/a>. The toponym originated around 1863, when Love Jones Parry, along with Lewis Jones travelled to Patagonia aboard Candelar\u00eda<\/em> to decide whether that region was adequate for a Welsh colony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new shopping mall in the city centre has helped tourism develop significantly, making Puerto Madryn a more attractive place for both international and domestic tourists visiting Patagonia<\/a>. It is twinned<\/a> with Nefyn<\/a>, a small town on the Ll\u0177n Peninsula<\/a> in North Wales<\/a>, the result of its enduring link with Welsh culture since the Welsh settlement in Argentina<\/a>. The first of a two-Test tour to Argentina by the Wales national rugby union team<\/a> was played in 2006 in Puerto Madryn, a 27\u201325 win for Argentina<\/a>. Puerto Madryn is home to two football<\/a> clubs; Club Social y Atl\u00e9tico Guillermo Brown<\/a>, who play in Nacional B<\/a> and Deportivo Madryn<\/a>that currently play in Torneo Argentino B<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A basketball team, Deportivo Puerto Madryn<\/a>, plays in the Liga Nacional de B\u00e1squetbol<\/a> (LNB). Their home arena is known as the Deportivo Puerto Madryn Arena<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Tehuelche Airport<\/a> is located 10 km (6 miles) northwest of the city centre. Commercial flights from Buenos Aires<\/a>, Ushuaia<\/a>, and other Argentinian cities are available. Most tourists fly into Trelew<\/a> Airport as flights into Puerto Madryn are restricted as a result of environmental concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Puerto Madryn is situated in Chubut<\/a> on the Golfo Nuevo<\/a>, which is formed by the Vald\u00e9s Peninsula<\/a> and Punta Ninfas<\/a>. Puerto Madryn features a cold desert climate<\/a>(K\u00f6ppen<\/a> BWk<\/em>), with an annual precipitation of between 150 and 200 mm (6″ to 8″).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The settlement grew as a result of the building of the Central Chubut Railway<\/a> by Welsh, Spanish, and Italian immigrants. This line, opened in 1889, linked the town to Trelew<\/a> via the lower Chubut River<\/a> valley.[8]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
