Posadas

Town and port in Argentina, the capital of Misiones province, 290 km/180 mi east of Corrientes; population (1996) 201,943. Posadas lies on the left (south) bank of the Alto Paraná River, directly opposite the Paraguayan town of Encarnación, to which it is linked by the San Roque bridge and a train ferry serving the Buenos Aires-Ascunción railway line. The principal exports from the area are yerba maté (‘Paraguay tea’), tobacco, timber, and flour.

Near to the town, at San Ignacio Miní and at Trinidad across the river, are the ruins of the old Jesuit missions from which Misiones derives its name.

But I knew him, and I was surprised, and glad; he watched me, unsuspected by my father, from whom he always hides himself when he crosses my path on the road, or in the posadas where we halt; and, as I know what he is, and reflect that for love of me he makes this journey on foot in all this hardship, I am ready to die of sorrow; and where he sets foot there I set my eyes.
Don Quixote by Cervantes, Miguel View in context
