5 good reasons to (re)go to Dublin #1

Because Dublin is the countryside in the city

Yes ! What do Dubliners do during their lunch break? They spin on the beach of Dollymount to windsurf! At the weekend, they go hiking on the bay with their dog, between ferns, sky and sea. 20 minutes away by train, they have lunch in the small port of Howth. Not far away, I visited the intriguing Malahide Castle (www.malahidecastleandgardens.ie) which is said to be haunted. Want altitude? Easy, the mountains surround the city! For the countryside, direction Slane at 50 kilometers. Using an electric bike, I went to make fun of donkeys, sheep and dogs, from farm to farm, before eating in a sheepfold (FB SlaneFoodCircle)! Organized by the friendly Countess of Mount Charles (please!), this food trail allows you to discover small local producers and taste the Earl's whiskey in his castle.
