Isla Negra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isla Negra is a fishing village some 130 kilometres south-west of Valparaiso, Chile. It is best known as the residence of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, who lived there (with long periods of travel and exile) from 1939 until his death in 1973. (See Casa de Isla Negra.) It was given its current name by Neruda himself, after the dark outcrop of rocks just offshore. It literally means "black island" in Spanish.
