Altre informazioni:
Killybegs is one of Ireland's premier fishing port. It is home to someof the biggest and most modern fishing trawlers in Europe. You can watch the fishing boats unload their catch of fresh fish at the pier and see the fishermen mend their nets at the quayside in preparation for another trip to sea. Sea angling is popular here, especially since the landing of the largest Blue fin Tuna caught on rod and line in European waters in 2001. County Donegal is one of the traditional counties of Ireland. It is located within the Province of Ulster and is part of the Republic of Ireland. It was named after the town of Donegal. Uniquely, County Donegal shares a border with only one other county in the Republic of Ireland, County Leitrim. The majority of its land border is shared with Northern Ireland (the counties of Londonderry, Tyrone and Fermanagh). This apparent economic isolation has led to Donegal people maintaining a distinct cultural identity and has been used to market the county with the slogan Up here it's different. Much of the county is seen as being a bastion of Gaelic culture and the Irish language holding the largest Gaeltacht area in the country with a population of 24, 504. Despite Lifford being the County Town, the largest town is Letterkenny.
