Ireland has many faces : some non-sense, a great coastline, and good music. I have travelled around many of the irish counties from Donegal to Cork and from the Wicklows to Connemara.

I especially like and recommend the west-coast, for example Sheeps Head peninsula, Mweenish Island, the Blasket and other lesser known places, away from the tourist tracks.
