Just a few miles yet a whole world away from the bustle of Galway city, the Conamara Gaeltacht lies at the meeting of sea and shore. It is a low and rocky land of inlets and islands, sand and coral beaches, and sweeping Atlantic views. One of the last strongholds of Irish language culture, Irish is spoken as the community’s language here. It has a hugely rich and distinctive living tradition of music, dance, literature and craft, passed on from generation to generation, and which have come to define the deep connection between the land and its people. Turas Chonamara invites you to discover this unique language and landscape, from the locals’ perspective.
