Puerto Madryn, Argentina

Puerto Madryn is a coastal city in northern Patagonia. It is located on a large, quiet bay.
This is a nice respite before heading out to sea on our way to the Falkland Islands.
It is a pleasant city of about 70,000. Empanadas are still the food of choice here as has been since we arrived in Argentina. Just an observation-the empanadas we’ve had in the past were deep fat fried and not always our favorite as they seemed greasy. The empanadas in this part of the world are beautifully baked to a light golden color and very delicious.
