Galaway City

Four Irish women making their way up to the fish market in front of the Spanish Arch in the Claddagh, Galway City, Ireland. Ordinary people going about their daily business.

The location the women are standing in is known as Long Walk, to the west of the Spanish Arch. Claddagh Quay and Nimmo's Pier can be seen in the background, along with the whitewashed houses of the Claddagh.
