Croeso!


One reason for coming to Patagonia was the writing of two favourite travel writers. We have had Theroux so here is Bruce Chatwin on why the Welsh came here from his "In Patagonia". "Their leaders had combed the earth for a stretch of open country uncontaminated by Englishmen. They chose Patagonia for its absolute remoteness and foul climate; they did not want to get rich."

Trevelin is one of the Welsh settlements near Esquel. The country around looks just like the Black Mountains. I thought I was at Bron Haul.
