（单词翻译）

Galway has been dubbed the Gateway2 to the West. For hundreds of years, this was a modest fishing village, then in the 13th century, the English wised up to the area's strategic spot on the water. 14 Anglo- Norman families known as the Tribes of Galway settled in the area, forcing out the local Irish and building a great wall around the city.

You can see one of the last surviving vestiges of that wall, here at the Spanish Arch, where incoming ships unloaded cargo4. The merchant tribes grew wealthy, thanks to a strong wine and brandy trade with Spain.
