Contributed by JWalker, an ePodunk user. February 12, 2007 Pluses: A sea-side village on Galway Bay, Ballyvaughan is tidy and charming and full of chatty, friendly people, everything one imagines an Irish village to be. There's music at the hotel on weekends and sometimes at Monks' Pub, right on the quay. The loaves of brown bread sold at Sparr Market are worthy of a pricey bake-shop, but affordable here (practically the only thing that is.) A good place to... sit on the dock of a bay
shop for crafts at the weekend craft fair in the village hall You can get a bus to Ballyvaughan from the train station in Galway.
If you rent a car, rent a SMALL car. The roads are unimaginably narrow. No auto-teller (sadly common in Ireland, where once-a-week mobile banks are still the norm)
