Si desea sugerencias de rutas en coche, consulte [email protected] 3 LA RUTA COSTERA DEL ATLÁNTICO EXPERIENCIAS EMBLEMÁTICAS Punto emblemático 1 – Malin Head RODEA EL EXTREMO MÁS SEPTENTRIONAL DE IRLANDA EN MALIN HEAD Hay algo especial en Malin Head – Cionn Mhálanna. El cabo de la Península de Inishowen es el punto más septentrional de Irlanda. El salvaje Atlántico ha labrado profundas grietas en el accidentado promontorio, como el Hell’s Hole, un estrecho, profundo y largo desfiladero donde el oleaje brama con fuerza. Los pájaros vuelan en bandada hasta aquí, arrastrados por los vientos del Atlántico: visitantes habituales procedentes de Islandia, Groenlandia y Norteamérica; y criaturas exóticas más peculiares que vienen desde más lejos aún. La mítica reina Banba dio su nombre al cabo de la península: Banba’s Crown. En este punto, los guías de Cycle Inishowen te recogerán con una bicicleta de fabricación irlandesa para dar un paseo de 45 minutos que te permitirá estirar las piernas respirando el vivificante aire marino y aprender muchas cosas sobre la historia, la geografía y la flora y fauna de la zona. O visita... AN GRIANÁN AILIGH, UNA MARAVILLA DIGNA DE CONTEMPLAR An Grianán Ailigh es un fuerte de piedra cartografiado por Tolomeo en su mapa del mundo del siglo III D.C. Este antiquísimo enclave, que según dicen tiene casi 4000 años, fue la base de los caudillos de Irlanda del Norte y se conoce como el Palacio de los Príncipes del Norte. Se alza 245 metros por encima del nivel del mar con vistas espectaculares de las colinas cubiertas de brezo y los amplios estuarios que caracterizan a la península más septentrional de Irlanda, la ásperamente bella Malin Head, Condado DE Donegal península de Inishowen, y a través de la ciudad amurallada de Derry. El fuerte se utiliza una vez al año para celebrar: The Féile Grianán Áiligh Chieftains Feast, que es LA ISLA DE TORY ES FAMOSA POR SU un banquete al estilo antiguo dentro de los muros de An Grianán Áiligh... vale la pena visitarlo. O quizá prefieras visitarlo en un momento más tranquilo, para pasear entre ARRAIGADO FOLKLORE Y SUS TRADI- los muros de la fortificación tranquila y desierta con el viento como única compañía. CIONES MUSICALES, ASÍ COMO POR Punto emblemático 2 – Fanad Head SU ESCUELA DE ARTE AUTÓCTONO, DISFRUTA DE UNA DE LAS PLAYAS MÁS BELLAS DEL MUNDO FUNDADA EN LOS AÑOS CINCUENTA Desde Portsalon, continúa por la carretera costera hasta Fanad Head y el Faro de Fanad. El Faro de Fanad es el segundo faro más septentrional de la República de Irlanda y los lugareños dicen que es un poco más alto que la Torre Eiffel. Un paseo de 20 minutos en ferry te trasladará desde Rathmullan hasta Inishowen, para que te des un respiro del viaje por carretera y que el conductor pueda sentarse, relajarse y disfrutar de las vistas.Una ruta de la ruta costera del Atlántico que nunca olvidarás es la carretera costera de Knockalla, con sus vistas panorámicas de la Península de Inishowen y el océano Atlántico a través del estuario. A medida que la carretera asciende, irás descubriendo una de las vistas más impresionantes de Irlanda. Al contemplar el espectáculo de la Bahía de Portsalon y Ballymastocker entenderás por qué esta playa fue votada como la segunda playa más hermosa del mundo hace unos años. Un paraíso para los amantes de los deportes acuáticos, los golfistas y los excursionistas. Desde Portsalon, continúa por la carretera de la costa hasta Fanad Head y el Faro de Fanad. El faro es el segundo faro más septentrional de la República 4 EXPERIENCIAS EMBLEMÁTICAS de Irlanda y los lugareños dicen que es un poco más alto que la Torre Eiffel. Sin embargo... ¡yo creo que esto depende del viento! Dirígete a Rathmullan para tomar un delicioso almuerzo en el muelle y toma el ferry hacia Inishowen. La travesía en ferry dura 20 minutos y te permite acortar el viaje y que el conductor pueda sentarse, relajarse y disfrutar de las vistas. Y si quieres relajarte… CONOCE A UN REY ARTISTA En el puesto fronterizo de la Isla de Tory, en Donegal, un risco remoto y accidentado 12 kilómetros mar adentro, la cultura irlandesa tradicional es la forma de vida y estos ciudadanos independientes llevan eligiendo a su propio rey desde el siglo VI. El rey actual de Tory es el pintor Patsaí Dan Mac Ruaidhrí, cuyas obligaciones reales incluyen recibir a los ferrys en el muelle para dar la bienvenida a los visitantes de la isla. La Isla de Tory es famosa por su arraigado folklore y sus tradiciones musicales, así como por su escuela de arte autóctono, fundada en los años cincuenta. Hoy en día sigue siendo la cuna de muchos pintores y sus obras se exponen en la Galería de la isla, donde probablemente conocerás a algunos de ellos. Quién sabe, a lo mejor incluso encuentras la inspiración para pintar tus propios cuadros. Punto emblemático 3 – Sliabh Liag SLIABH LIAG – ENTRE LOS ACANTILADOS MÁS ALTOS DE EUROPA Malin Head, Condado DE Donegal Sliabh Liag se encuentran entre los acantilados más altos de Irlanda y las impresionantes vistas panorámicas contempladas desde estos acantilados cambian de un segundo al siguiente. Brillantes cielos azules conviven con rayos de lluvia de un gris azulado que unen el cielo con el mar. Y en lontananza este lienzo natural en constante cambio nos ofrece rayos de luz, propagados por briznas de suaves nubes, que calientan las aguas para convertirlas en oro líquido. La Bahía de Donegal se abalanza majestuosamente sobre ti; según asciendes para contemplar las angulosas cimas de Sliabh Liag que cortan las nubes, aparece un maravilloso lago. Por One Man Pass el excursionista experimentado llegará hasta la cumbre de Sliabh Liag, mientras que los turistas más convencionales se conformarán con contemplar las vistas desde el mirador. Sigue hasta Glencolmcille y visita la villa que ha logrado congelar las tradiciones para la posteridad. Silver Strand (Trabane) es una joya oculta, una playa situada en Malin Beg 7 km al sur de Glencolmcille. A la playa solo puede accederse desde el mar o a pie bajando una serie de escalones... te desafiamos a contar su número... te aseguramos que nunca contarás los mismos para bajar y para subir, es uno de esos pequeños misterios de la vida. s. Y por qué no… CONTEMPLA CÓMO SE TEJE LA MAGIA DEL TWEED DE DONEGAL En Donegal llevan siglos confeccionando tweed artesanalmente. La naturaleza les proporciona las materias primas: lana de las ovejas que pastan en las colinas y los marjales, y tintes extraídos de los setos y los campos… moras, fucsias, aulaga y musgo.

Fossils are not the ancient organisms themselves.2 On a coastal walk in Ireland most of the fossils evident in rocks are of marine animals without a vertebral column (invertebrates), such as sea- lilies, corals, and bivalves.3 In the Fenit area Crinoid Columnals and Ammonite are numerous. 1 Fossil Definition.

He recalled the major historical events which took place in his lifetime. He sighted the first solo transatlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh - the plane flew low over his house.
