Not content with the beauty in Wales, a bunch of them decided to snap up some prime land over here in Argentina. They brought their sheep, their red hair and their names with them for good measure. Trevilin (meaning 'mill town'), complete with Welsh dragon on its coat of arms, is known for its vestiges of Welsh culture, having being settled by the Welsh decades ago. Fortunately the culture associated with Cardiff on a Saturday night was nowhere to be seen, but we did seek out the famous Welsh tea room, and its famous afternoon tea.
Sarah was reluctant to patronise the afternoon tea, but came along anyway.
It was excellent! Even Sarah thoroughly enjoyed it. The sandwhich, scones, home made jams and 5 different cakes - all traditional recipes by all accounts - were worth every Argentian peso. But star of the show had to be the tea, served in a china pot and tea cups. My conclusion; it is justifiably famous!
It's only the hairs on a gooseberry, that stops it from being a grape.
