Pretty cool considering it costs nothing to see

Preciosa torre y paseo

Its a beautiful spot. Right next to a wonderful forest that is very quiet and walkable. Very easy to get lost in and relax. It seems off the beaten path from polilar sights near it. But it was a 30 minute bus ride from Galway and definitely worth a free day trip.
