City walls imply something surrounding the city. Small broken bits of wall do not a walled city make!

Although sold as a medieval walled city, they can be hard to find. Galway does however still feed like a medieval walled city so that's not so bad. The walls are the walls though - made of stone and just there - not so much to write home about ...

This is nice for when you are planning on an outing on a rainy day. Nice places to eat ans some of the stores have changed but still have enough to keep you inside for the day.

Spanish Arch was the only part of the walls we inspected. If you REALLY want to see and walk upon "Medieval City Walls," I'd suggest Chester or York in UK.
