OVERVIEW

Walk along the coast of Golfo Nuevo to observe a colony of sea lions and then relax over a cup of hot tea and fresh-baked pastries in the Welsh-founded town of Gaiman. The colony of sea lions at Punta Loma Reserve – which may number in the hundreds – is protected and live there permanently so you are bound to see them along the beach and just offshore. Even from a distance, you can easily distinguish the males from the females as they are twice the size and sport lion-like manes around their muscular necks. Although sea lions may move awkwardly on land, they are graceful swimmers and can reach speeds up to 25 miles per hour in the water. Their antics will give you plenty to discuss later at the Ty Gwyn tea house in Gaiman. Afterwards, you will enjoy free time in town, where the ambinace is still decidedly Welsh.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Enjoy tea and tasty pastries at a Welsh tea house in the town of Gaiman.
