Galway, the Aran Islands and the land of the Irish language.
2 museumsConnacht is the west: Galway, Connemara, Mayo and Sligo, where Irish is still spoken in many villages.
Galway is a city of music, colourful shopfronts and festivals. Connemara is a land of lakes and mountains, and the Aran Islands keep stone forts and the Irish language.
