The main street of Ardara is dotted with cafes, bars and wool/tweed shops because this is a centre of the dyeing and weaving of Donegal wool. Ardara people are very friendly and welcoming. The villages in the south of Donegal are a lot more colourful than the ones in the northern part where white seems to be more in fashion
