Departure: Door of the Riu Plaza Gresham hotel (Dublin) 8:00 a.m.
You will take a panoramic tour with our bus in the city of Belfast. The guide will tell in Spanish the turbulent history of Northern Ireland, interesting details of political conflicts and their resolution thanks to the peace treaty.
You will pass by emblematic places such as the Town Hall, the Titanic neighborhood, Prince Albert’s leaning clock tower, the Peace Wall and the political murals of the Catholic and Protestant proletarian neighborhoods.
We will stop at different points to take pictures.
At noon there will be 1.5 hours of free time to eat and/or explore the city. We recommend having a pint at the Crown, the only pub in the British Isles that has been declared a national monument, and visiting the colorful St. George’s market.
Optionally, you can use the time to visit the Titanic Museum.
In the afternoon, you’ll walk with a Spanish-speaking guide to the small walled city of Derry, or Londonderry as the Protestants prefer to call it.
Here, the conflicts of the famous “Bloody Sunday” took place, immortalized with the U2 song“BloodySunday”.
Finally, you’ll stay in Derry at the 3-star Quay8 hotel or 4-star Maldron Hotel (depending on your choice).
Sunday: Antrim Coast
You’ll travel along the coast of Antrim where part of the Spanish Invincible Armada ran aground in 1588. On clear days you can see Scotland.
You’ll stop to walk and photograph the avenue of ancient trees known as “The Dark Hedges” immortalized in the Game of Thrones series.
Then we’ll stop for a photo stop at Dunluce Castle to continue to the Carrick a Rede suspension bridge, which you’ll cross to enjoy the views out to sea.
Next, you’ll head out to explore the Giant’s Causeway, declared a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site.
Here you will have an hour and a half of free time to admire the different prismatic shapes of basaltic rocks formed 60 million years ago. Entry to the visitor center will also be included.
