Carraroe,
is situated in the South of Connemara on the coast of
Galway Bay. Carraroe is one of
the most important areas for promoting Irish culture
including song, dance and Irish Summer schools. It is very
popular with other Irish-speaking holidaymakers. Not only is
Carraroe wedged between Casla Bay and Greatman's Bay, but it
also has the whole series of islands composed of Lettermore,
Gorumna and Lettermullen, all joined by causeway to the
mainland. There is an old world atmosphere to be found here, with endless
winding boreens and high granite walls leading to now silent turf quays
and deserted beaches.
