The international luxury and lifestyle travel magazine, Condé Nast Traveler, has given County Donegal a glowing report in its latest edition.
Reporter Saki Knafo travelled to the ‘forgotten county’ where he discovered a land of ‘myth and music.’
“On my first morning in Donegal, a place sometimes referred to as Ireland’s forgotten county, a man named Séamus Doohan drove a friend and me down a twisting ribbon of road in a van filled with electrical equipment,” his article began.
Not being used to the comforts of a Transit van, Knafo soon fell in love with the place and went on to describe it as ‘one of the most beautiful counties in Ireland.’
“About halfway up the hill, Doohan began telling us about the ancient people who gave the flowers their names,” he added.
“He said they placed the bodies of their kings in tombs that may have been meant to serve as portals to the Otherworld, a realm just beyond our own.”
Knafo, a Brooklyn, New York, native, goes on to describe the people of Donegal as ‘famous for their openness and hospitality’.
