 The Counties of Galway,Mayo and Roscommon constitute the Ireland West Region and nowhere in Ireland is there a more varied landscape in which to enjoy a vacation. Dramatic mountains, expansive lakes which mirror the huge skies, majestic rivers, small fields parceled by dry stone walls, lovely forest parks, enchanting tracks and quiet roads all contribute to a terrain unmatched in its variety and unspoiled beauty. The main city in the Region is vibrant Galway. It is a city full of youthfulness and exuberance and has in the background some of the most breathtaking scenery to be seen in the country. It boasts an abundance of quality restaurants and lively pubs, and with the local university population adding to the varied mix of visitors, it makes for a cosmopolitan city that everyone loves to visit. Sitting in Galway Bay are the Aran Islands where one can find remnants of Irish life as it was at the turn of the century.
