12/19: Cities - Welsh or not?

Perito Moreno to Trevelin, 500km

We are in Trevelin now. It is or was a Welsh colony. Today at least the architecture has some Welsh influence with its structure and brick walls. I guess after several generations the tradions are very limited (tea and cake seem the only one) and people rather speak the local language than the one of their ancestors. But nice anyway.
Actually that is a big difference to Bolivia or even Chile: All the cities and villages (this one has 9,500 inhabitants) are very typical and not dirty at all. Usually there is a wild mix of modern or new with old buildings. They keep their original flair without inhibiting modern developments and maintaining an interesting flair for tourists like us.
Usually there is a plaza in the center and a overproportionally large avenida that is always paved even if the access roads are ripio (gravel). Everything is tidy, the grass is cut to golf quality, there are street signs indicating the name (there is always a Roca, San Martin street along with other generals and presidents). But again, it is great because we have no problems finding the hotel or the restaurant (obviously for steak).
Unlike in other countries arriving in an Argentinian town is always a pleasure. The tourist information is easily found and from there the other amenities.

People are friendly and hotel owners usually pitty us for the tall size and the short beds (different story) and offer Claudio a room with a matrimonial bed, I get the children's bed...
