About Posada Las Mimbres - in their own words:
The building dates from 1879 and is situated in a beacutifully landscaped farm. Formerly the home of David Beynon Willimans and Gwen Jones who had been granted 100 hectares from the Welsh settlement in Chubut. They baptized the location "Pant y Celyn" (name of an indigenous bush) and built a modest house of sun-dried bricks and a blacksmith's shop. Some years later they built the house which is still standing, with materials brought from EEUU and England.
In 1988, 53 hectares of the original 100 were bought by the Plust family who choose Patagonia as their living quarters and opened their doors to visitors.
