Volvo Ocean Race coming to Galway

How excited are you about Volvo Ocean Race finals coming to Galway again? We are REALLY excited! :)

12 days and counting!!!

The race started in Alicante, Spain on October 29, 2011 and will be finishing on July 7, 2012 in Galway, Ireland. It is one of the most challenging races in the world. ‘The course sets an intriguing mixture of sailing conditions and challenges for navigators. These include fast, heavy weather running in the Southern Ocean, nail biting light airs and thunderstorms in the Doldrums, plus tricky tidal conditions along the European coastline’

Galway's Festival will be a treat! First of all, there will be loads of amazing and beautiful sail boats. Then, the festival - music, food, fashion, comedy, you name it!
Barnacles Quay Street Hostel is located in the heart of Galway, meaning you will only have to walk out of our building and join the party! And party will be incredible!



Have a look at the festival schedule, so you don't miss any fun stuff! Click here!

And remember, you are in good hands when staying at Barnacles! Free breakfast, free wifi, best location in Galway and loads of free smiles! :)

See you soon!
