Which place would you add to your bucket list if you were coming to Ireland? Btw, sorry for some spelling mistakes🫣😂

[@alanmartin1949]

Second only to County Donegal => The Beara Peninsula ❤❤👍👍❤❤

[@SomethingToRemember]

It’s on our radar! 🎯

[@Johnjrambo75]

Clare lads. such a beautiful county.

[@Lophophorawilliamsii]

One question if you guys are so kind. What is the best city in Ireland for a Spaniard who wants to go live in that beautiful country for a long time?

[@SomethingToRemember]

We love Galway & would recommend it to anyone! 😊🇮🇪☘️

[@daniel08october1969]

You need to do a video on the beaches of Donegal as they are quite stunning and generally deserted. 5 fingers beach for sunset, in nice weather, is amazing.

[@SomethingToRemember]

New video is coming soon ☺️

[@JesseP.Watson]

I spent most of September in Donegal, mainly around Ardara, making a film anout Kilclooney Dolmen, it's staggeringly beautiful but it was the people that really made it special for me, friendliest place I've ever been to... so refreshing to meet that in the current climate, coming from an increasingly anti-social England.

[@SomethingToRemember]

Totally agree… Of all the places we went to around Ireland we definitely noticed a difference in the people in Donegal ☺️

[@JesseP.Watson]

@@SomethingToRememberAye, seá sin ceart.

[@colleengilmartin5115]

My daughter and her husband just got back from Donegal (where my mom's family lives) and said Slieve League was beyond breathtaking!

[@SomethingToRemember]

It’s beautiful there. If you’re interested in more places in Donegal keep an eye on this channel. Hoping to produce a new (much better) video about the county 💚

[@oisin_o_boyle]

Been travelling to Ireland (mostly Donegal) for more than 30 years for at least once a year. SouthWest-Donegal is by far my favourite region and I stopped counting my hikes to the top of Slieve League. Its a must see! I do prefer the pilgrims path, nowadays signposted and that way is also avoiding the tourist masses to the viewing platform. A nice spot you haven't mentioned: Án Port! Hiking paradise along the stunning coastline. It's near Glencolumbkille the coast upwards. And of course, when it comes to beaches, there are so many beautiful beaches in Donegal, but my favourite one is Silver Strand in Malin Beg, also near Glencolumbkille. When I was in the region in 2022 I noticed film crews and later found out, that Liam Neeson was there that time and now I can't wait to see this film being released in the second half of 2023: Search for - In the Land of Saints and Sinners!

[@SomethingToRemember]

Thank you for your comment, will check out those places this year☺️

Apart from Murder Hole beach we've been to all those places. At Fanad Lighthouse a couple were having a bit of rumpy pumpy, probably thought they wouldn't be disturbed! We'd seen them at it earlier at Portsalon, think they were doing a tour, lol. On the drive up to Slieve League Mrs had her head between her knees, I'm not allowed back. Doagh famine village is worth a visit, it's just like my granny's house. My favourite places, Carrickfinn and Crohy Head. Great filmimg, just got to love Donegal.

No better place than the scenic sights of Donegal for a bit of “rumpy bumpy” I suppose 😂 Thanks for sharing - will try to get to Carrickfinn & Crohy Head in the summer ☀️

[@ReinholdSonntag]

Thank you for your great video, which stands out above all for the outstanding drone shots of the impressive landscapes. Unfortunately, we missed some of it in April. However, we were on our 10-day tour of Ireland in a group and saw things in the Donegal area that you wouldn't easily see as a solo traveler, such as training with border collies. In addition to the tour in Donegal Bay, I particularly enjoyed the evening in a music pub because I love Irish folklore (e.g. the songs of the Dubliners) very much. That's why I used some of it in my first video.

I am sorry to bother you with a specific question but I have one about Donegal. I will be spending 4 nights there in August, driving , and was thinking about not booking accomodation and just follow the flow. But it's probably unwise, right ? I mean, will everything be fully booked ? It is August. Thank you so much

[@SomethingToRemember]

Hi! If you’re planning on booking last minute accommodation we find it much better to get Air B&Bs rather than hotels but that’s a general rule we follow, not just in Donegal 😄 You are right though, it could be busy & if the weather is good (which you are hoping for) the accommodation might already be snapped up 🫣
