Salvador Settlement

Salvador Settlement

Salvador Settlement (-51.4667, -58.3667) , also called Salvador or Salvador Settlement Corral, is a small harbour and settlement on East Falkland, in the Falkland Islands, It is on the north east coast, on the south shore of Port Salvador. It is one of a handful of Spanish names in the islands, still in use.

It was founded by Andrés Pitalauga, a Gibraltarian, in the 1830s, who arrived via continental South America. His descendants still run the farm there and the settlement is therefore sometimes referred to as "Gibraltar Station".
