Some details about the sixteenth edition of the Fortuna Music Contest have been revealed in a press-conference today. Talcahuano, (From Mapudungun Tralkawenu, "Thundering Sky") is a port city and commune in the Biobío Region of Chile. It is part of the Greater Concepción conurbation. Talcahuano is located in the south of the Central Zone of Chile. Together with ten other municipalities, it forms part of the Concepción Province, which in turn is one of four provinces that forms the VIII Region of Biobío Region. According to the 2002 census of the National Statistics Institute, Talcahuano spans an area of 145.8 km2 (56 sq mi) and has 250,348 inhabitants (121,778 men and 128,570 women).
The official foundation date of Talcahuano is 5 November 1764 when Antonio de Guill y Gonzaga declared it an official port. However, the site of Talcahuano began to appear in history books as early as 1544 when Genoese captain Juan Bautista Pastene discovered the mouth of the Biobío river while exploring the coast in his ships San Pedro and Santiaguillo. In 1601 Alonso de Ribera built Fort Talcahueno to defend remaining Spanish settlements near Concepción. The city is named after an Araucanian chief, Talcahueñu, who inhabited the region at the arrival of the Spanish. In Mapudungun, the language of the indigenous Mapuches, Talcahuano means "Thundering Sky". The port was well known to American whaleships of the 19th century. They often put in for fresh water, food, and various forms of entertainment for the crews.
Talcahuano is an important loading port for Chilean wheat. The port has a petrochemical terminal and a fishing area.In the naval base lies the Huáscar, an important warship and symbol of Chile's naval power. She was captured in 1879 in the Saltpetre War against Peru. The steam tug Poderoso, built in 1911, was another museum ship. However, she capsized in port as a result of the 2010 tsunami and has not been righted since. Talcahuano is also an important naval base for the Chilean submarine fleet. The city has its own airport, Carriel Sur Airport, nine kilometers east of the city.
Coliseo La Tortuga is an indoor sporting arena located in Talcahuano, Chile. The capacity of the arena is 10,000 spectators and it is used mostly for basketball. El Coliseo La Tortuga Monumental, known popularly as La Tortuga de Talcahuano, is a sports and entertainment centre, renowned for its distinctive roof, which is similar to a shell of a turtle. Located in the northern section of El Arenal, in the city of Talcahuano (Chile), it is located exactly at the intersection of Avenida Manuel Blanco Encalada and Arturo Prat street just in front of Paseo Ventana al Mar. With its 13,850 m² of floor area and capacity for 10 thousand spectators, it was until recent years the largest building of its kind in Chile. Jorge López (born October 30, 1991) is a Chilean actor. Born in Llay Llay, Chile, his first major role was in the Disney Channel Latin American telenovela Soy Luna (2016–2018). López played Valerio Montesinos in the Netflix series Elite. He studied acting at the Universidad de Artes, Ciencias y Comunicación.
