 The Galway Bay and the docks are the most beautiful sites of the Irish city on the West Coast. Tourists stream in as fast as the river Corribe. The busy season has just begun and that is good for the pubs and restaurants in the area; especially because it is hard to live of other industries during the recession.

Galway is a good spot to stop for travelling musicians. They can play at night in many different pubs or busk on the city's busy Shop Street. Together with others they can play the never ending list of Irish tunes and some people are even making a living of it.This fiddler boy always plays on his own.
