A salt wind greets the coach as it rounds Galway Bay and the Atlantic seems to breathe against the cliffs. Travelers step from the mini-coach at stacked limestone pavements, where wind and rain have given the Burren its skeletal geometry, and later follow cliff-top paths with the ocean daring them to edge closer for the best view.
