Aran Islands Sweater Market
The Story of the Aran Sweater- Preview
The Aran Islands, situated on the very west of Europe, in front of Galway Bay, have given their name to this particular and famous knitting-product. This film represents the story of the Aran Sweater, a garment, hand-knitted since generations in its own typical and traditional Irish style.
Based on its natural tradition, the Aran Sweater became very popular and their pure patterns gave so many inspirations even to the biggest fashion creators.
Note this is a preview of the full video which can be purchased as a DVD from

Warning Seriously good for you - Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites Aran Islands Ireland HD
Whatever your beliefs – your vision of Eden might not switch to the remoteness of the Irish Aran Islands in the Galway Bay– but it should.
A soon as you catch a glimpse of the middle island (the least busy of the three) you become enchanted and realize why the island has long been the secret enclave for playwrights, artists and escapists alike.
Think here of natural barren beauty, lichen weathered limestone outcrops, clear aqua green waters, folklore woven through the resilient islanders…you following us….fresh lobster hoisted from the bay prepared by maverick chef-owner Ruairi de Blacam, who with his co-owner & wife Marie-Thérèse, have crafted a signatory island retreat that is as honest and simple as the beauty of the island itself.
With no TV, this is your chance to find yourself – bikes waiting for a ride, rods at the door looking for fish or that book waiting to be read – be active, be restful, be good to yourself. This is seriously slow living.
With just 5 suites you need to be off the mark early to get a room here – the place is only open from April to September – so get your act together and request a room as early as possible.
Discover it for yourself right here.

20170922 Ireland: Aran Island - Inis More, Galway
Inis Mor | The Aran Islands | Galway Bay
Come with us on our day trip to the Aran Island of Inis Mor!
The Aran Islands are a group of three islands situated off Galway Bay.
You can reach them easily from GALWAY with different day trips (you might also like the idea to stay the night on the island, no added costs only inform your tour operator that you'll take the ferry the day after!).
From Galway city center we took the bus for approximately 40 min, then dropped us at the ferry's terminal, other 40 min on the ferry and we arrived on Inis Mor. We decided to rent the bikes from the local bike hire for 10 euro (5 euro deposit). It was pretty easy cycling around the island, even if we only had 6 hours to wonder around and eat, we managed to see almost everything!
Both the cliffs and the Worm Hole were breathtaking!
Definitely suggested for everyone travelling to Ireland or Galway.
