Malta Map of Malta

We used the Sunflower Malta walks book, Walk 8 – 5.9 miles, ascent 625 ft, nominally 2h 35m
We took the bus from Bugibba towards Targa Gap, and got off at the Rihana bus stop at Wiel l- Arkata
Gosh it is hot – 29 degrees C, but it was only 19 degrees in Italy yesterday!
There is no breeze and little shade, so even a slope is hard work.
How do the vines grow when it is so dry? It is only May but the crop are ready to cut
There are cacti everywhere
Mellieha in the distance, and St Paul’s Bay
Bidnija church
Here is some welcome shade, with a shrine in the grotto
A fancy entrance. There are lots of dry stone walls made with round stone
Pwales valley, and St Paul’s Bay
No trees
A chapel and two statues
St Paul’s Bay from Xemxija – Buigibba, where we are staying, on left
We caught a bus back to Bugibba
