Mayo

Storia e natura, elevate all’ennesima potenza. E’ questa l’esplosiva alchimia della contea di Mayo, dalla quale nessuno può salvarsi…

Certo, tutta l’Irlanda è bella ma la sua "avanguardia" occidentale, la contea costiera di Mayo, lo è in modo particolare. A colpire subito è la costa, scolpita dalla furia dell’oceano fino a farne quasi un pizzo… Ma basta spingersi appena un po’ più in là, nell’entroterra per capire che questo lembo d’Irlanda ha molte altre sorprese in serbo per chi decida di esplorarlo.   

Una per tutte? Lo straordinario sito di Ceide Fields, il più vasto insediamento dell’età della Pietra al mondo (risalente a circa 6000 anni fa). Ma anche Croagh Patrick, la montagna dove il santo patrono si ritirò in preghiera per 40 giorni nel 441, e Achill Island, l’isola più grande d’Irlanda e straordinario concentrato di natura e storia.   

E se ancora non ti basta, c’è un elenco infinito di villaggi e paesi affascinanti da Westport, regina della sua insenatura, alla tranquilla cittadina di Cong.
