Dolavon

Unlike Gaiman [1], sleepy Dolavon (pop. 2,481) has never become a tourist town, but the brick buildings along its silent streets evince a greater architectural harmony than its larger neighbor—even though, founded in 1919, it’s much newer.

Its major landmark, the Molino Harinero (1930), is a former grain mill that now houses a museum and the restaurant La Molienda (Maipú 61, tel. 02965/49-2290). Norias (waterwheels) in nearby canals still distribute Río Chubut water to the fields and orchards.

Getting to Dolavon

From the Trelew [2] terminal, Empresa 28 de Julio runs 10 buses daily to and from Dolavon via Gaiman.
