En la actualidad, esta población, situada en la frontera entre County Galway y County Mayo, cuenta con algo menos de 150 habitantes. Su nombre procede del irlandés Cúnga Fheichín, o estrechos de Saint Fheichín.
Despite having watched "The quiet man" so many times, I reckon that I could watch it again and again, and I would always find out new details to enjoy. It was Carlos who insisted in visiting Cong, and I must admit I am thankful for the idea. The small village is worth a visit: a quiet, beautiful and picturesque rural Irish enclave. As time goes by, the place remains the same. It is a pity we could only spend a few hours in there.
Today, this village, situated between County Galway and County mayo, has about 150 inhabitants. Its name comes from the Irish language word Cúnga Fheichin, which means Straits of Saint Fheichin.
El bar se mantiene como en la época de la película. Bien merece una visita.
The old bar seems to have survived the passing of time.
No podía faltar la estatua dedicada a los protagonistas de la película: John Waynne y Maureen O'Hara.
The statue dedicated to John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara is certainly a must-see.
Este Cottage es un museo dedicado a la película.
This lovely cottage is the film museum.
Cong, además de las casas que aparecen en la película, nos obsequia con paisajes naturales extraordinarios.
Extraordinary landscapes are an essential part of Cong charm.
Y por supuesto, en esta recopilación, no podía faltar una foto de Carlos, delante de otro de los escenarios de la película, la llamada "Casa del moribundo".
And of course, this picture compilation would be incomplete without a photo of the Dying house. Carlos cannot hide his deep feelings about Cong.
