Why Salthill Promenade matters
Salthill is Galway's seaside suburb, with a long promenade overlooking the bay. Locals walk it all year, and there is a tradition of kicking the wall at the end for luck. At sunset, the light over the water is beautiful, and you can see the Clare hills across the bay.
Talking points
- Kicking the wall is a local custom.
- Sunset views are the highlight.
- It is a gentle walk from the centre.
