In a small town like A Coruña, this majestic square is hard to miss. Located at the heart of the old town, this square is where one would go to see the local ayuntamiento, the statue of María Pita or simply relax in one of the many cafes.

After exploring Al-Mutanabbi Street and the nearby bazaar, make your way to the Tigris River, just a short walk away, and hop on a boat for a ride along one of the most historic rivers in the world. Flowing through the heart of Baghdad, the Tigris offers a unique perspective on the city's character along its banks.

This scenic neighbourhood is a delight both day and night. Stroll along the waterfront and get a feel for the town while taking in the distinct local architecture. Sit down for a seafood lunch, have dinner with a view (over the blue waters and iconic hilltop windmills), or explore the bar scene after sundown.

Not to be mistaken with the larger lake of the same name on the River Shannon, Lough Derg in Co. Donegal is a renowned place of pilgrimage. A traditional three-day pilgrimage takes place each August, but the Lough is open to visitors (including anglers!) year-round. The Lough is composed of over 30 islands and inlets, the most famous of which is Station Island - it is said that when St. Patrick traversed Ireland converting kings to Christianity, Jesus appeared to him here and revealed the entrance to Purgatory! The Lough's name comes from the Irish word "dearg" (red) as a local legend holds that a local mortal once called the magic powers of the lake to transform a worm into a vicious cow. Once defeated, the red blood of the cow changed the colour of the rocks (which are in fact sandstone) to red.
