English holiday courses: Galway, Ireland

With his feet up in front of the turf fire, the storyteller has returned. Carried off in a long soliloquay, he remembers his adventures across the Atlantic because here he is, back in the country of his childhood. Originally from the Aran Islands, these small islands lost at the very end of the mist, a kingdom of salty drizzle, raised stones and wild flowers, he tells of all his attachment for beautiful Galway which welcomed him so well on his return from New York. Endearing, convivial and colourful, Galway is one of these small cities where you feel at home from the start. Well-protected from the strong winds of the West, sheltered from the large sways come from Newfoundland, the legendary hospitality of the "Galwegians" is really not a myth! A port city located in the province of Connacht, on the west coast of Ireland, Galway has everything to please! A first-class artistic scene, a lively cultural life and a bohemian spirit which is a bit rebellious give it its inimitable charm. Don't hesitate to stroll through the small streets of the "City of the Tribes". You will be charmed by its pastel houses which are next to the Spanish Arch and the stories past down from father to son in front of a pint of stout. Gaillimh, a unique city which gladly teach those who, in addition to learning English, wish to know a bit more about green Erin. It's useless to carefully prepare tourist itineraries in this country where the unexpected can be found around each corner along the way. Whatever the paths, it is necessary to cross them in all directions, through its fantasy and above all, whilst taking your time. With the ocean on the port side and on the starboard side of the road, unexpected sounds, rivers lying low in the heather and rings of countless lakes...welcome to the marvellous world of the great Synge. Galway awaits you... Go for it!
