The most beautiful place in Ireland!

One of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, majestic, breathtaking and in my opinion way better then Cliffs of Moher, which are very popular, well known by tourists and always crowded.

Donegal has not only unforgettable views to offer ...




but also a great atmosphere...







... and a cultural centre.

The award winning Slieve League Cliffs Centre is a family affair run by husband and wife team, 
Paddy and Siobhan Clarke. Paddy was a deep sea fisherman for twenty years but now has a masters in archaeology and Failte Ireland tour guide, heritage & Hiking guide. In between looking after coach tours and hiking groups, Paddy is the resident barista in the cafe Ti Linn. He makes one of the best cappuccinos in Ireland. 


Artist and chef Siobhan is the artisan baker serving up homemade scones, cakes, cookies and deserts. Her soups and sea food salads are special. With her eye for colors, Siobhan looks after the craft shop choosing Irish made knitwear, and crafts.


Must try in Donegal: BUBBLE-GUM ICE CREAM... YUMMY!


XOXO

Irish coast



Beautiful Irish Coast, Wide Beaches and clean water, 
perfect for a long walk, picnic, jogging, volleyball game
standup paddlesurfing or even golf.




LOVE the colors, so intensive!






Bray.

My favorite town.
Very small, but absolutely lovely!
Great coffee shops, small restaurants, amusement park during summer,
delicious ice cream and candy floss at the beach and... Bono!
People say you can bump into him on the main street, 
because he owns a house in Bray.
