Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Twin town sign on the eastern outskirts of Nefyn The sign proclaims Nefyn to be twinned with the Argentinian town of Puerto Madryn a town that was established by Welsh colonists and where Welsh is still spoken today. It is appropriate that Nefyn, a town which reared so many seafarers, should be twinned with a town not in near Europe but in distant South America.
In the same way as the Jewish agricultural colonies of Argentina were financed by Baron Hirch, the Welsh colonization project had the financial backing of 'Baron' Love Jones-Parry of Castell Madryn, 3 miles SW of Nefyn. It was in honour of the spendthrift Jones-Parry who died penniless having spent his last £6000 on a single bet on a horse that the initial settlement was called Porth Madryn, now Puerto Madryn. http://www.andesceltig.com/indexsaesneg.html http://www.interpatagonia.com/puertomadryn/index_i.html |
