Salthill is a seaside resort on the northern shore of Galway Bay and it’s an easy walk from downtown Galway. We began our walk late morning and finished 7.5 miles by the time we returned in the afternoon.
On way, we had a good view of the Cathedral from the bridge over the Corrib River,
And saw some pretty fuschia flowers.
It was lunchtime when we arrived in Salthill and we found the Gourmet Tart Company. The food here is creative–especially our open-faced crab sandwich. The crab salad was served on brown Irish bread topped with red wine poached pear slices and capers. A unique and delicious combo.
The Salthill Promenade offers great views of Galway Bay,
Lots of tiny seashells,
And artistic displays of seaweed.
We were there during low tide but apparently it’s a bit treterous walking at certain times.
We’ll be in Galway one more day before we move on! It’s been a good day!
