Think of the marathon and the same question always pops up – why would any sane person want to run 26 miles 385 yards in one go? It’s not even as if anyone is holding a gun to their head and making them do it! They do it for pleasure! Pleasure!?
I always fancied having a go at sailing. Then, one day, as a student, the opportunity arose. Thing was, my first sailing experience was in extremely high winds on a reservoir … in Manchester … in the UK … in October. It just about put me off for life! If only I’d begun my sailing career in the clear, blue and pleasantly warm waters around Malta!
The Pergola Club Hotel & Spa originally opened in the early 80s as an apart-hotel. Set in the beautiful Mellieha Hills, it grew in popularity and was refurbished in 1996, when 40 hotel rooms, two restaurants, a terrace and the Adenau Conference Room were added, making it one of the leading 4-star hotels on the island.

Right! Here’s how it is folks. If you’re coming to Malta, or if you’re already here, then it’s time to change how you think. Different country, different rules! Back home, for example, you might never dream of chartering a boat. But then back home you probably don’t have the beautiful Mediterranean and almost constant sunshine on tap.
When it comes to religion in Malta there’s really only one player in the game. The island is staunchly Catholic with roughly 98% of the people here answering, effectively, to Rome and the Pope. Now, you don’t have to be a genius to figure out that if nearly everyone is Christian then they’re going to need lots of churches.
