28th July 1865: 153 people embark on the Mimosa, sailing for Patagonia to
establish a Welsh colony and preserve their language and culture. Expecting the green valleys of home, they found a desert. Times were difficult, but miners dug irrigation trenches and the settlers traded with the local Tehuelche people.
Today Patagonia has 50,000 Welsh descendants, 5000 Welsh speakers and holds annual Eisteddfodau.
‘Little Wales beyond Wales…’
