Galway: Between History and Legend

Galway is a city of contrasts, a two-sided coin where the joy of its music-filled streets coexists with stories of pirates, ghosts, and broken loves. On this free tour, we will start at Eyre Square, the heart of the city, and travel through time with old photos showing its transformation. We will discover St. Nicholas Church, witness centuries of history, and talk about the Celts and their legacy. We will stop at the Spanish Arch, recalling Galway's strong connection to Spain, from trade to the shipwrecked sailors of the Invincible Armada. We will explore the village of Claddagh, home of the famous ring of the same name, and the Cathedral, which is imposing and full of symbolism. Along the way, we will learn about the legends of the city, from spirits roaming the old streets to tales of tragic love and betrayal. We will also talk about the Aran Islands, their unique culture, and surprising curiosities. Join us and discover Galway like never before!
