You feel dizzy when you don't make ends meet. When you look at the world from Cliffs of Moher what you feel is happiness.

Ireland has many things to be proud of (its coffee is good and Bono is magnificent), but nothing so beautiful.

To be fair, Moher is a U2 symphony in which the sea plays the bass.

Before Moher one feels important. It is not surprising that it is one of the ecotourism destinations favorites of Ireland since the 18th century. And then, getting there was not an easy task. Today, yes it is.

The cliffs are just 3 hours from Dublin, an hour and a quarter from Galway, 10 minutes from Doolin, 45 minutes from Ennis, a quarter of an hour from Lahinch and a mere 5 minutes from Liscannor.

Spectacular views from the Cliffs of Moher

Once in them we suggest six Possibilities to enjoy the views:

1. Sunset

Better to see it in company, but, if not, he or she misses out. It starts around 6:30 p.m. in March, before the time change.

It is advisable to view it from the central point where a huge flat rock serves as a seat. It is prohibited to access it, but well... From there the sunset is incredible.

If you have been to the Isle of Skye, this sunset will remind you of the one seen from the cliffs of Nest Point, one of the top-ten what to see in Scotland.

2. Home of the Puffin

As the cliffs are Special Protection Area for Birds, they are home to the largest colony of seabirds in Ireland (20 different species, with 30,000 breeding pairs).

10 minutes walk from the visitors Center You will observe the multitude of puffins, the clowns of the oceans, that nest on Goat Island every spring and return at the end of July.

You will have to get up early to see them because their workday ends first thing in the morning, after having spent the entire night at sea. They are ready, as they avoid predators and winged thieves who could steal their precious loot.

Late afternoon is also another good opportunity to observe the puffins. It is at that time when their fishing expeditions begin. It is a spectacle to see thousands of them abandon their lairs excavated in the rock in unison and get lost in the Atlantic horizon.

It is also home to other birds such as fulmars, which are located on the upper ledges of the cliffs, kittiwakes, peregrine falcons, below O'Brien's tower, and red-billed choughs.

You can see some of these seabirds during this navigation and marine wildlife photography activity in Alicante.

3. Aran Islands, Galway Bay, Twelve Pins and Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara

Just a quarter of an hour from the visitor center, heading north, is the O'Brien Tower, built in 1835 by Cornelius O'Brien.

From there you can enjoy the view of 5 counties if the day is clear. Just ahead you glimpse the Aran Islands (Inis Mór, Inis Meáin and Inis Oírr), the Twelve Pins and Galway Bay.

You will also see the coastal pillar, An Branán Mór, where White-winged Guillemots and Gray Auks nest on the flat rock at the foot of this pillar.

4. Waves and cetaceans

Ireland's biggest wave, known as Aileen's among surfers, it is at the base of the cliffs, at Aill na Searrach, below O'Brien's Tower.

She doesn't yet have the cinematic status of Julia Roberts, but she has made a cameo in the surf-themed movies Sea Fever and Wave Riders.

If you want to start training to meet Aileen's on your next trip to Ireland, you can start by signing up for these surf courses in San Vicente de la Barquera.

From here, if you are attentive and the fauna cooperates, you can see dolphins or seals, and even a basking shark, a minke whale or a humpback whale.

Another great place to see cetaceans in Europe is the Azores islands. Find out with this whale watching activity in Portugal.

5. Loop Head South

Loop Head is the least popular and busy alternative to the Los Angeles route. Cliffs of Moher, perhaps because this untamed corner of Ireland can test the most intrepid of visitors.

The road literally runs along the edge of the cliff until it reaches the cliffs.

A walk across the natural Ross Bridge and a visit to the Kilbaha and Loop Head lighthouses is something you can't miss. The views are amazing.

The wildest Atlantic beneath your feet, the delta of the Shannon River behind you and a continuous movement of seabirds around these cliffs make it one of the most unique places in Ireland.

6. Beach

On the right side of the O'Brien Tower There is a path from which you can see a beach, a product of the erosion of the cliff produced by the impact of the waves in this area.

Be careful because this place is outside the center's protection zone and landslides occur on some slopes.

This is because the cliffs are the happy consequence of a settlement of mud and sand provided by a river that flowed at this point about 320 million years ago.

All of this will be explained to you at the visitor center, fully integrated into the landscape and a focal point for visitors. It has a cave-shaped structure that minimizes its visual impact. The roof, covered with grass, covers the hillside where it stands.

How many hours is it from where you are? It doesn't matter. Wherever you are, come, because the cliffs, Ireland's most visited natural attraction, have the fame they deserve.

In the Cliffs of Moher, as you let yourself go, you flap. Visiting them is the closest thing to flying without taking your feet off the ground. Have a nice flight.
