"GALWAY" a Galway Travel Page by lina112

Second part of my trip to Ireland was on Galway and around it. I walked through its narrows and beautiful street, visited the cathedral, the university, St Nicholas Church and i spent a very good evening on The King´s Head pub. Around Galway there´s many places to visit. The three more important are, The Aran Island, Kylemore Abbey on Connemara and The Cliffs of Moher and Burren.

Galway City is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe and, with a population of approx. 65,000, it has become the third city in the Republic of Ireland after Dublin and Cork. It began as a small fishing village centred around the estuary of the River Corrib, a river traditionally called Abhainn na Gaillimhe (The Galway River) after Galvia, a mythological princess said to have drowned in its waters.
