A TikTok star, travelling across South America, was left stunned after stumbling upon a Welsh settlement which is located over 7,500 miles away from Wales. Emmy, who creates content on the social media platform alongside her partner Simon on their account 'That Weird Couple', told their followers that they were visiting the town of Gaiman in Patagonia, Argentina.
While there, they got to experience first hand the town's strong connection with Wales, including the red dragon scattered everywhere, road signs written in Welsh and a Welsh afternoon tea which was served at a local café.
Gaiman, which is a small town located at the Lower Valley of the Chubut Province, is a part of Y Wladfa, which means 'The Colony' and refers to the Welsh colonisation of Patagonia. In May 1865, over 150 people who had gathered from all over Wales decided to set sail from Liverpool to Argentina on a tea-clipper called Mimosa.
