What is recorded here
Spanish Island, called Inis Píc in Irish, sits north of Baltimore in County Cork, where Roaring Water Bay throws itself against the rock. The name suggests a distant connection to Spain, yet the island belongs firmly to the Irish sea, marked by storm and salt rather than foreign trade. It is the kind of place that resists explanation, keeping its own counsel while the water rages around it.
