In February 2014 Galway has was crowned Europe’s Micro city of the Year by the Financial Times. Known for its festivals, music and bars, the city is a vibrant, fun-loving city. Conveniently, history and leisure combine here: the pubs, many of which retain their original, huge fireplaces and other Gothic features, are the best place to get a feel for the medieval city. As the capital of the Gaelic West – it’s the only city in the country where you might possibly hear Irish spoken on the streets. Galway is the only coastal city in Ireland that really seems to open up to the sea, and its docks sit side by side the compact city centre, as you’re constantly reminded by salty breezes and seagulls. The jewel in the city’s crown, the long, pedestrianised main drag of William, Shop, High and Quay Streets, becomes a lively, Mediterranean-style promenade during summer, lined with pub and restaurant tables.

Age after age have they dwelt by the side of Galway Bay. asserting and main- taining supreme control over its fishing—a right which is theirs by a prescription older than the oldest tradition. For ages long they have been the near neighbors of the people of Gal- way, yet are even now as distinct from them, as jealous of their intrusion amongst them, and as strongly marked in their pecu- liarities as they ever were. Time, and the resistless force of modern "progress," maybe silently softening down some of the prejudices to which they were so obstinately wedded, and effacing some of the broadest lines of separation between them and their neighbors, but, intrenched in the stronghold of their harsh patois, and entirely devoted to their hereditary avocations, the main features of their character remain the same as in ages past.
