Galway

Galway Weekend is a weekly series where city dwellers from near and far give us their take on great spots to visit for a quiet pint, tasty food and more, as well as unique places to soak up the beauty of Galway city and county.
 Tracy Sammon from Ór Jewellery on Shop Street is our guest this week.


Are you an Apple or Android Person?
Apple all the way!


Presuming you had a signal, what 3 apps would you use on a desert island? 
Spotify because I love music, Instagram to keep up to date with all the light-hearted news and The Irish Times to keep up to date with the actual news!


What’s your favourite place in the city? 
It has to be The Prom in Salthill. I love walking, especially by the seaside. The fresh air is therapeutic for me.


Any hidden gem you would recommend for visitors to Galway? 
Dangan, walking along by the river which brings you all the way into town. It is just gorgeous all year round.&nbsp;&nbsp;


Where is your favourite place to grab a bite to eat?
I love going out for food, regardless of whether its breakfast, lunch or dinner! There are so many amazing places to choose from but at the moment I would have to say (1) Caprice for breakfast (2) The Lighthouse Café for lunch and (3) Hyde in the evening for dinner


What pub would you go to for:

A quiet pint? Garavan’s Bar

A match? An Púcán

Tunes? 1520


Any recommendations for a place to go on a first date?&nbsp;
Take a stroll down Shop Street and into Garavan’s Bar for a pre-dinner drink, and then on to Caprice for a romantic dinner in beautiful surroundings with gorgeous food!


Favourite walk or hike in Galway?&nbsp;
I like to head out to Connemara for peaceful, scenic walks/hikes on Mám Éan with my 2 little dogs Willow and Freddie always by my side.


Most picturesque place in Galway? 
I think Dangan is so beautiful with the river as the backdrop. It's like a tranquil oasis within walking distance of Galway City.


What are you up to for the weekend?
I am off to Kilkenny for a girlie weekend!
