About
The Spanish Arch in Galway offers a remarkable blend of history and beauty. As a remnant of the 16th-century wall, it stands as a testament to the city's rich past, originally constructed to shield merchant ships from looting. Today, it provides a picturesque setting by the River Corrib, where visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Galway Bay. The area is filled with lively energy, especially when the food markets are bustling, and swans gracefully glide across the water. It's a family-friendly spot, ideal for a relaxing walk or snapping some memorable photos. Rated 4.2 on Google, this charming landmark promises an enjoyable visit immersed in history and local culture.

Attentive staff. Lovely meal, great quality, so flavoursome and good choice on menu. Well priced. Would definitely come back. Highly recommend.
