Ireland, from the east to the southwest and west

If you are looking for a country full of clichés, a country which has such a rich, complicated and long history, a country which has gone through 800 years of occupation by neighbouring Britain, a country whose history is portrayed by conflicts with elements of ethnic, religious and civil strifes, a country with endless natural masterpieces, with a scenery so beautiful, breathtaking and difficult to describe, with a full range of all shades of emerald green, and an absolute perfection of a liquid elixir called Guinness, then this is definitely the right choice. Here, an usual combination of walking around natural landscape in any direction and a random afternoon pint of Guinness in a randomly selected pub is a perfect day where nothing can go wrong, an incredible sense of belonging which almost always ends up by hanging out with beautiful local talkatives, warm and kindhearted people. This is Ireland.
