Caleta Olivia, Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia, Argentina
🇦🇷 Caleta Olivia is a coastal city located in the north-east of the Argentine province of Santa Cruz, on the San Jorge Gulf by the Atlantic Ocean. It is the second most important city of the province after Rio Gallegos, and the most populated in the Deseado Department.
The city was founded on 20 November 1901, by Navy Lieutenant Exequiel Guttero, captain of the Guardia Nacional, a ship that was transporting cables, equipment, and workers for the construction of a telegraph line south of Comodoro Rivadavia. The settlement was given the name of his wife Olivia (caleta means "small bay", "inlet").
The main economic activities around the city are petroleum, sheep and fishing. Its port serves both as a fishing centre, and as an export point for locally produced goods.
Among the monuments of the city, probably the most characteristic is that of "El Gorosito", built to honour a petroleum industry worker.
