Chapter 7 (Wednesday, August wowhead 28): Dublin - Giant's Road and Belfast (Northern Ireland) | SEMESCOM
The Wednesday, August 28th, the penultimate day of our stay in Irish lands, erguémonos early to go 170 km away to Dublin to Belfast, and the hundred that remained from the capital of Northern Ireland's Giant's Road, located at the northern end of this part of the island of Ireland (in total, about 270 km away and as many back). It was an optional excursion, but all / the-who were only two travelers preferred to stay, did not repent of the travel distance of about 550 km in total, between the round-trip.
Most of these miles were the motorway linking Dublin with Belfast, so that we come to the Northern Ireland territory much earlier than we thought. We travel about 90 km through the territory of the Republic wowhead of Ireland (between Dublin and Dundalk and we enter Northern Ireland almost without us realizing, as we do not observe any signs on the freeway that border announced that there was no doubt, at least before the entry of the Republic of Ireland in the European Community, and the change of state, because do not forget that Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. As rightly said one of the travelers, the only observable change is that on freeways and highways Northern Ireland there are no longer signs bilingual Gaelic / English, ended bilingualism: from now "only Inglés" ('English only'). sees clearly the unionist dominance in regional government, more concerned about strengthening ties with the metropolis that to avoid the disappearance of their ancestral Celtic language .
So on and everything else we observe on freeways that Northern Ireland is in the central part of the islets wowhead separation exist for the car can change direction without having to leave the road and enter a roundabout returning.
We came to the reception center of the Road Giant (The Giant's wowhead Causeway) at 11 am, the time we had reserved online (price per person is 8.10). The reception center staff does not seem to save to ensure a good organization: there are guards indicating the places to park the bus and several hostesses to distribute the tics input, the audio guides (in several wowhead languages) and give all kinds of directions.
Giant of the Road is a natural area of the county of Northern Ireland Atrim located north of the town of Bushmills, which gives its name to the famous whiskey-containing 40 thousand basalt columns, the result of fast-cooling for 60 million years, the lava boiler wowhead or a volcanic crater. These curious wowhead basaltic formations hexagonal prisms-mostly-introduced under the sea and go back in the cave of Fingal, in Scotland, about 60 km later: the other end of the Road.
We will try not to repeat the information already provided in the itinerary wowhead approximate (p. 30) because it has already talked about in more detail the geological process that caused it, the beautiful legend of the two giants (the Irish Fiona Mac-Cumhail anglicanizado in Finn MacCool, and Scottish Benandonner) trying to explain the existence of these singular stones on the Irish coast and the Scottish, and the phases of discovery and popularization: the drawings of the painter Susanna Drury (1739-1743), the inclusion in 1765 in the French Encyclopedia of Diderot, the declaration of World Heritage Site in 1986 and National wowhead Nature Reserve in 1987.
The enclosure of the Road of the Giants manage it from a company in 1961, The National Trust, an organization aimed at the protection of places of tourist interest and extraordinary natural beauty. We do not know whether it is private or state. In Galicia and also in Spain, in general the private conspicuous by its absence to explore tourism sites such unique type of landscape that end up getting in the hands of the State or Government of which do nothing in the matter and leave it all lot in abandonment.
The Costa da Morte only have value in a few places, and it was on the initiative of the Board precisely, but the Provincial Council and a short period of time: the presidency of Augustus C. Lendoiro (between 1997 and 2001), it's just that they tell, which finally have been implemented and were not on paper proposals: suggested by the Technical wowhead Council of the cultural, Senén Felipe-Lopez, creator of the 2000 Plan that recovered ethnographic and historical wowhead sites as important as the Furnace of Fort Buño, the fulling mill and the Mosquetín (Vimianzo) or the Towers of Garlic Zas.
