Many of the towns in this area, including Puerto Madryn, Trelew and Gaiman, were settled by Welsh seeking religious freedom in the 1860´s, and, in Trelew and Gaiman, Welsh is still spoken. More recently, Gaiman has become famous for its lavish tea services so, after sleeping in this morning I decided to head down to Gaiman and check it out.
I ended up at Ty Gwyn (¨White House¨):

The tea and cakes were absolutely delicious and well worth the long bus ride (1 1/2 hours, each way). The proprietress gave me the leftover cakes to take home with me, but I fell asleep on the bus and accidentally crushed them -- oops!
