Maltese people are a bit of an enigma because they're not what you'd expect! In pure geographical terms the island is further south than Tunis, stuck between Europe and Africa. Consequently, in appearance, the Maltese can be quite dark and swarthy - almost Arabic looking! You'll find they exhibit few Eastern traits, however. This is without doubt a European island, that up to 50 years ago was controlled by the British - so not only is it English-speaking but it also has a very...
Some places just ooze charm and class! It seems to drip from the buildings and cover the streets. They tend to be places where man, the species, has not gone blundering in, smashed things about and added lots of charmless concrete and steel boxes. They're ancient places that still appear ancient today. Places like Mdina!
Innovation is a mystifying thing! What sort of mind thinks they will shape and bake a lump of clay into a pot after digging it from the ground? And who would get an oven-ready duck and think to pronounce that what it needs to set it off is an orange sauce? And who takes glass, melts it and sticks it on a giant metal straw and starts blowing?
Located in Balluta Bay, the hotel embraces the Maltese way of living by celebrating its diverse culture with a new perspective.
You can’t help but think the Wright brothers missed a massive trick! When George Stephenson unveiled his revolutionary steam train he had a cool, sexy name – Rocket! So what memorable name would those American siblings bestow on a radically new machine that could actually fly? Well, given the chance to put something in the history books forever, they chose [Drum roll] .. Flyer!
Gianpula is a night club in the limits of Rabat situated in the valley below Malta's old capital and the medieval town of Mdina.It is an old farmhouse with grounds expanding over an area of 30 tumoli of land. The Main Room during the last 24 years has served as Malta's foremost open air night club during the months.
Every month we create some exiting dishes, using Seasonal Vegetables, Meats and Fresh Fish. With each dish having its own detail, what we want you to experience is that sense of surprise when you taste something good and new, we want the peak of sensation on the palate to be all that you feel.
If you love to lie around in the sun, take an occasional swim and sip on a cool drink then there are two ways to go in Malta. Firstly, you can hit the beach with everyone else. But if you have a morbid fear of sand, open water, seaweed or fish – or if you just like things a little more refined, then you should head for one of the many lidos.
There are some of us who hated sandy beaches as a child! Not the digging sandcastles and swimming in the sea but the process of getting off them and back to the car or hotel etc - that’s the issue here. All that chafing, grating and abrasion in some very personal places – and it goes on for days – weeks sometimes!
The history of Malta has been incredibly well documented but the episodes that are widely known are all of a human perspective. There’s another aspect to this island’s past, however, that is just as fascinating – the history of its geology, plant and animal life – for an insight into that head for the National Museum of Natural History in Mdina .
