I can quite happily by-pass the whole lot of them, but I must applaud the designers of the centre who have very cleverly created a 60-shop centre without majorly affecting the surrounding area. I believe the main site was a former timber yard, that also included at stretch of 14th century medieval wall, with a couple of houses. These have been integrated into the design and the wall actually used as part of the structural support for the roof. Leave a Comment

 Did you ring ? by sourbugger
The Claddagh itself was an area of the town, near to where the river enters the sea. Nowadays it is an open grassy area that is worth a short walk from town - especially when that invigorating Atlantic breeze is blowing.
The full story of the history of this particular type of celtic jewelry can be found at the website listed below.
I won't recommend a particular shop - as it comes down to personal taste, but there are several to choose from.
Rings start at less than 30 Euro and go up to several thousand. They can also be incorporated into bridal crowns and stuff. Leave a Comment

 charlies gaff by sourbugger
Unlike most other shops that sell remaindered stock the quality of stuff here is very high as it is weighted towards serious and academic books. Many are American in origin and thus will not turn up very often in other bookshops.
It is especially good for books on Iralnd arts, culture and history.
I always seem to spend a couple of hours in this place every time I visit.
Over 40,000 books in the store - there must be something for you.
Keenly priced. I recently bought a Hardback copy of MrCarthy's journey for 8 euro when the cover price was 24 pounds sterling !

 Sb get's the wrong type -
again ! by sourbugger
They sell a range of upmarket foodstuffs from Italy from olive oils to whole hams, pastas, cheeses, olives and the like. They also have an excellent selection of Italian wine. Prices are obviously higher than the local supermarket (and in Ireland you often need a second mortgage for the weekly Tesco shop), but for a few specialist items or a touch of luxury on your plate then these are the guys. Snob value ? Certainly.
The very well displayed shop also features a café at the rear which I have yet to try, but with ingredients that good it would be difficult to make a pig’s ear of it. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: 50, upper abbbeygate streetPhone: 091 53 97 42

 Does my bum look big in
this ? by sourbugger
He is most famous for some of his totally 'mad' hats that adorn catwalks and society functions everywhere.
I am surprised that he hasn't opened a shop in the town, but some of his more toned-down creations can be found in places like the Galway hat-shop that lies on the lowest floor of the Eyre Square shopping centre.
er...a hat
too much Leave a Comment Theme: Women's Clothes

 nice beads (model not
included) by sourbugger
The staff will also make up necklaces and the like that look good for you, if you give them an outline.
The only real downside to the business would appear to be if someone breaks in and scatters all the beads to the four courners of the shop. It would take years to put them all back in the right place again.
A basic necklace will set you back less that 10 euro Leave a Comment Theme: JewelryPhone: 091 567347Directions: Galway Bead Shop Cross Street Lower
