Gwyl Glaniad

Tea and Landing Party

Every year, on July 28, the Gwyl Glaniad (Landing Party) takes place. The chapels become the center of the celebrations and the “Welsh tea” is widely served.

The descendants of the Welsh colonists take part in this “party for the palate”, as well as the rest of the community, who gladly adheres to this tradition.

The neighbors of the chapels form Committees to help in the tea preparation. At the same time, at the churchyards, games are organized, as well as show-jumping exhibitions and night concerts.

Tea houses
Throughout the whole year, the inhabitants of the region and the tourists that visit Gaiman, feel attracted to the landscape and also to the possibility of entering into a very tastefully decorated room where they can savor the “traditional Welsh tea”, which is served together with totally home-made baking.

A beautiful setting for afternoon tea.

In Gaiman, the most traditional place, there is a great number of houses offering this service.

The great number of Welsh descendants in Chubut have settled in different parts of the Province. This makes it possible for the Welsh tea to be appreciated not only in the famous Gaiman, but also in other places such as Trelew, Puerto Madryn, Trevelyn and several farmhouses.
