Another page done in my Ireland journal! I know that I’m going to be kicking myself for doing this in graphite, so I’ll probably end up inking it eventually for permanence. But once I started I just couldn’t stop, lol! A couple of lads playing trad at a fantastic little pin in the Latin Quarter of Galway, Tig Coili. #latinquartergalway #tigcoili #livemusic #tradmusic #ireland #galway #pencilart #graphiteart #drawing #dragonflystudiogallery #bellacoola #tahirihgofficfineart https://www.instagram.com/p/ByrOz1AnF7W/?igshid=a0v5nlwkkj6b

Galway Girls

Photo taken at Tig Cóilí Pub in Galway, Ireland

It was about a five-hour drive from Carrick-a-Rede to Galway and on the way, we stopped at Ballintoy Harbour; also known as the Iron Islands in Game of Thrones. The fan-girls in us were ecstatic about all the incredible pit stops that one of our favourite shows filmed at. We arrived at our B&B in Galway at 8:00PM, dropped off our bags and made our way downtown! We walked around for about an hour, checking out the shops and a couple jewelry stores. We stumbled across a cozy little pub called Tig Cóilí, where there was a group of 6 musicians with an array of instruments: a banjo, a guitar, 2 fiddles, an accordion, and a melodica! The energy and traditional Irish music in this place was something I will never forget, and I still get chills when I think back on it.

The next morning, we packed up the car and headed back to town to enjoy our very first traditional Irish breakfast. I do not think I have ever been served so much food to eat first thing in the morning! We even tried the black pudding, which was not a hit with us but at least we gave it a shot! We did a little more exploring of the docks in before we were back on the road. Unfortunately, one night in Galway was all that we had due to some scheduling conflicts, but as much as it was a short trip, it was one of my fondest memories because of the wonderful experience we had the night before.

  FUN FACT - Just about any jewelry store in Galway (or Ireland, for that matter) carries the Claddagh ring. The man who created this traditional Irish ring was from the small village of Claddagh, just outside of Galway. Legend says, he was due to be married but was captured by pirates and sold as a slave to an Algerian goldsmith. He created the ring to signify love and friendship with two hands encircling a heart, and a crown to symbolize loyalty to his wife-to-be. Once he was able to return home to Galway, he presented the ring to his love and they married.

Charming Galway is an historic city located on the West Coast of Ireland, and an essential stop when traveling along the Wild Atlantic way. A popular tourist destination, Galway city has a lot to offer. With a youthful and even Bohemian atmosphere, this really is a place you need to spend time in if you want to soak up the atmosphere.

1. Take a walking tour around Galway City

  #galway #galwaycity #galwaycityphotographs #eyresquare #pádraicóconaire #padraicoconaire #walkingaround #walkingtour

A post shared by A Mala da Japa (@a_maladajapa) on Apr 7, 2018 at 5:05pm PDT

Perhaps the best way to experience everything that Galway city has to offer is by taking a walking tour. In the company of a local guide you will get to see all the main sights and also get an insight into what life is like here as a local. Along the way you’re sure to pass by most of the iconic sites which include the Cathedral, Eyre Square and of course the Spanish Arch. A walking tour of Galway city is also a good way to orientate yourself and plan out what to see and do if you’re spending more than a single day there.

  2. Visit the Spanish Arch

  Happy Friday! ⛵️Photo: Orla Buckley. #galway #galwaycity #westofireland #ireland #claddagh #happyfriday #weekend #summer #august #nature #photooftheday

A post shared by Galway Today (@galwaytoday) on Aug 11, 2017 at 7:42am PDT

The Spanish Arch is perhaps the most iconic of Galway’s landmarks. Constructed in 1584, it overlooks the River Corrib, and was once used to get to the quays from the town. In fact it was part of Galway’s medieval wall system, and in Galway’s trading heyday a lot of shipping passed to and fro to unload goods from Spanish and Portuguese ships. When Cromwell conquered Galway in the 17th century, the port lost its importance, and today the Spanish Arch is all that remains of the walls. No trip to Galway is complete without taking at least one selfie here!

  3. Cruising on the River Corrib

A river boat cruises The River Corrib and sails along the river with lush countryside surrounding it to the left and right. During the cruise you will pass by ancient castles and ruins, and of course you can enjoy an Irish coffee on board!

  4. Check out the Galway Hooker boats

  Swanning around! Thanks to Orla Buckley for this shot. #galway #galwaycity #westofireland #ireland #swans #summer #july #photooftheday

A post shared by Galway Today (@galwaytoday) on Jul 11, 2016 at 3:04am PDT

A type of traditional fishing boat known as the Galway Hooker was in common usage in the 18th century. Today many of these boats have been restored by enthusiasts, and some can even be seen during a yearly festival. If you are a beer connoisseur you might also notice a locally brewed beer of the same name in almost every pub in the city.

  5. Beer and music

A post shared by Tig Choili (@tigchoili) on Apr 17, 2016 at 12:25pm PDT

As we’ve already mentioned beer once, we should probably mention that there is plenty of traditional music to be enjoyed with it in Galway City! Quay Street is the most popular place to go for pubs, restaurants and cafes.

  🎭🤹‍♀️ It’s a fair bit colder tonight ❄️❄️❄️ Repost from @mcwhaaat It’s exactly two degrees out and this barefoot guy with a man bun has almost set himself and the audience on fire twice. Cheers. ❤️ If you want me to show any of your videos, please tag me 🎻🤹‍♂️ #xmas #weihnachten #market #keller #bier #supportgalwaybuskers #galway #galway2020 #ireland #buskers #streetperformer #arts #music #bohemian #irishmusic #bordfailte #galwaygirl #heartofgalway #instaireland #thewildatlanticway #instaireland #latinquartergalway #lovinggalway #welovegalway

A post shared by Galway Street Performers (@galway_street_performers) on Dec 10, 2017 at 12:00pm PST

The sounds of traditional live music fill the air in places such as The Spanish Arch Hotel and the Quays. Enjoy a Guinness or Galway Hooker and join in the craic!

  6. Treat your tastebuds

  Biteclub Disco Brunch Garden Party is happening right now over on Abbeygate St. Get in touch with them for ticket availability on the Poitin Masterclass that’s on later! galwayfood #thisisgalway #bia #food #longweekend #wildatlanticway #ireland #galwayfoodfestival #gff17 #thisisirishfood #galway #biteclub #brunch #gardenparty #discobrunch

A post shared by Galway Food Festival (@galwayfoodfestival) on Apr 16, 2017 at 7:16am PDT

Be sure to treat your taste buds during your visit to Galway City. Farmhouse cheeses at Sheridan’s, the amazing McCambridge food emporium, and the incredible bread from the Griffins Bakery which has been in operation since 1876 will ensure you never go hungry!

  7. Explore Kirwan’s Lane

  Neighbourhood watch, cats got your back! @yes_flowers @thesheepgalway @latinquartergalway @galway_now @galway2020 #shopdisplay #bike #bikes #blackcat #blackcats #kirwinslane #latinquarter #claddagh #localshop #localflorist #ilovemytown #wildatlanticway #galwayartist #galwaygirl #photography #photographer #streetphotography #streetstyle #streetart #streetview

A post shared by Rachel Dubber (@racheldubbergalway) on Oct 10, 2016 at 8:22am PDT

Kirwan’s Lane is named after one of Galway’s 14 so called ‘tribes’. The Kirwans had helped develop Galway into a busy commercial center during the 1500s, and so it is only fitting the lane has been restored, pumping new life into the city once more. Enjoy your time here wandering along, looking at the cafes, craft shops, and studios.

8. Spend some time at the Galway City Museum

If you really want to get to know about the city, you should spend some time at the Galway City Museum. Here, you can learn about the city’s history which stretches all the way back to the Norman invasion. There are a number of exhibitions both permanent and temporary which showcase the city and surrounding area’s heritage and archaeology. Spread out over three floors, the museum contains numerous artifacts, some religious items and an interesting maritime collection. It’s certainly worth a good hour or so of your time.

  9. Eyre Square

  Love Christmas in Galway. Some vibe.. #galway #funtimes #ireland #travelireland #xmas #market #eyresquare

A post shared by Shane O Malley (@shaneomalleyinsta) on Dec 3, 2014 at 1:17am PST

The chances are that you will pass by Eyre Square more than once during your stay in Galway city. Also known as the John F Kennedy Memorial Square, the two major landmarks here are the Browne Doorway and the Quincentennial Fountain. As a pedestrianised area, it is a central focal point from where to orientate yourself, and a nice place to simply take some time out to enjoy a nice sunny day.

  10. Galway Cathedral

Completed in 1965, Galway Cathedral is the last stone Cathedral to have been built in Europe. It is an impressive sight, and is jointly dedicated to St. Nicholas and Our Lady Assumed into Heaven. The cathedral is of course open to the public and there are Sunday masses.

  @thewildatlanticway ・・・ Scattered along Ireland’s west coast are a myriad of islands. Hundreds are uninhabited, but on many you’ll meet islanders keeping the culture and traditions of their land alive.picture by @walterbiggins #aranislands #wildatlanticway#loves_ireland #loveireland #wanderireland #inspireireland_#bestirelandpics #discoverireland #irishpassion #ireland_groom #viewireland #Clare #green #cliffs #sea #irishphotographers #photographersofireland #sky#instaireland

A post shared by Aran Islands (@aranislands.ie) on Apr 13, 2018 at 5:20am PDT

On leaving Galway City…. Galway City is a good place to access the nearby Aran Islands. The regular ferry service leaves from Ros a’ Mhíl just a few miles up the road on a regular timetable that allows for both day trips and overnight stays. Whilst some people choose to visit for a day trip, spending a couple of days or longer on the islands is the perfect way to really get away from everything.

Inis Mor is the largest of the islands, and has a range of accommodation, including the excellent Camping and Glamping site. You could choose between taking your own camping gear or simply reserve one of the unique glamping units for the duration of your stay. Once on the island, you will feel a world away and much closer to nature. If you love the Great Outdoors and getting back to nature, spending some time on the Aran Islands will really help you to complete your Wild Atlantic Way adventure!
