Joana Vasconcelos’ Exhibition Unveils
MICAS as Malta’s New Cultural Landmark
Just a stone’s throw away from the historic entrance to Valletta lies MICAS (Malta International Contemporary Art Space), the island’s most ambitious cultural project to date. Rising from the beautifully restored Ospizio Complex in Floriana, this striking four-story gallery has officially opened its doors with a spellbinding debut: an exhibition by internationally acclaimed Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos. Vasconcelos, celebrated for her larger-thanlife installations that marry handcrafted artistry with everyday objects, brings her monumental works to MICAS in spectacular fashion. As the youngest and first female artist to exhibit at the Palace of Versailles, her career spans three decades of sculptural innovation, bold creativity, and a distinctly feminist perspective. Now, Malta has the privilege to host her immersive and thought-provoking creations in this brandnew space.
A Journey Through Scale and Meaning
At MICAS, Vasconcelos’ installations transform the gallery into a universe where the familiar becomes extraordinary. Her work thrives on contrasts: artisanal techniques such as crochet, embroidery, and knitting are juxtaposed with industrial objects and everyday materials to create colossal yet delicate masterpieces. This interplay challenges perceptions of ‘feminine’ crafts, elevating the ordinary into profound social commentary.
The exhibition opens with Valkyrie Mumbet, a monumental textile installation named after Elizabeth “Mum Bett” Freeman, an enslaved African-American woman whose legal fight for freedom in 1781 helped to abolish slavery in Massachusetts. Part of Vasconcelos’ ongoing Valkyries series, inspired by the
female warriors of Norse mythology, the work pays tribute to women’s resilience and untold histories. Its sprawling, organic forms all created from bright fabrics, textiles, and intricate stitching, breathe life into the new gallery, their vivid outlines both ethereal and profoundly human.
Equally impressive is Tree of Life, an imposing installation located on MICAS’ lowest level. Composed of 110,000 handembroidered leaves, fungi, and branches, it exemplifies the painstaking detail and immense scale that define Vasconcelos’ oeuvre. The work celebrates nature’s beauty and fragility while prompting visitors to reflect on their own connection to the environment. Accompanied by a hauntingly evocative musical composition performed by baritone Rui de Luna Vasconcelos, Tree of Life delivers a multi-sensory experience that lingers long after you leave.
The €30 million contemporary arts museum MICAS gives the public access to a previously shuttered military fortress, and now MICAS has been painstakingly restored to honour its historic foundations
while propelling Maltese art and culture onto the global stage. Its vast, minimalist galleries, raw yet elegant, serve as the perfect canvas for artists like Vasconcelos to push creative boundaries and challenge expectations.
MICAS is far more than just another venue; it is a bold statement. It is a space where international and local art meet, where creativity is celebrated, and where visitors can experience contemporary art’s power to inspire, provoke, and transform.
An Unmissable Experience
Whether you’re an art enthusiast or a casual visitor, Joana Vasconcelos’ exhibition at MICAS is not to be missed. Monumental, magical, and thoughtprovoking, it is an artistic tour de force that showcases the vision of MICAS and cements Malta’s place on the global cultural map.
The exhibition runs until 27 March at MICAS, Ospizio Complex, Bieb il-Pulverista, Triq Joseph J. Mangion, Floriana. Admission is €10.
Exploring the History of Malta
A 4 Day Itinerary
Neolithic habitation on the island dates back around 8,000 years, and the remains of the first settlers may still be observed. Large Neolithic temple buildings may still be seen in Gozo and the southern part of Malta. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that Malta has a tonne of interesting and distinctive museums. We at OhMyMalta are prepared to educate ardent museum-goers and lead them through the greatest and most intriguing museums on the island.
Day One: Valletta
Malta’s museums are easily accessible and reasonably priced to visit. Valletta, the capital of Malta, is unquestionably the place to go if you’re in a hurry and wish to see a variety of museums in one location.
Valletta is sometimes referred to as ‘one giant museum’. The Local World Heritage Site houses over 20 museums, so it will be quite a strenous task to encompass every single museum you should visit when you’re in Valletta. We will, however, highlight the most sought-after sites and what they mainly provide.
The Grandmaster’s Palace is one of Valletta’s most spectacular structures. The palace was built during the 16th and 18th centuries to serve as the residence of the Grand Master of the Order of St. John. The Grandmaster’s Palace’s courtyard is home to a separate door that leads to the Palace Armory, which holds the biggest collection of weapons and armour still kept in its original home
in the whole globe. The collection offers an interesting look at some of the tangible remnants of earlier eras and waged wars.
While in the capital, you should wend your way to the National Museum of Archeology. This museum offers visitors a magnificent collection of artefacts from Malta’s several ancient eras, starting with the Għar Dalam phase (5200 BC) and continuing through the Tarxien phase (2500BC).
The majestic Fort St Elmo is one of the most beloved hotspots in Valletta. This consequential fort has been keeping watch over the Grand Harbour and Marsamxett Harbour for centuries. It was restored to its former splendour after playing a significant part during the Great Siege in 1565. Inside the Old Drill Hall of Lower Saint Elmo is where one can find the Malta’s National War Museum. The museum showcases antiquities from the Bronze Age all the way up till the Second World War, albeit the most
Fort St Elmo
Ħaġar Qim
significant collection of the museum is related to World War II. Various photographic panels document wartime life in Malta, highlighting the challenges encountered by civilians and the destruction wrought by aerial bombardment.
The most recently established museum you can visit in Valletta is ‘MUŻA’. The museum’s moniker,‘Muża’, is an abbreviation for the Maltese translation of the National Museum of Art, ‘Mużew Nazzjonali talArti’. By reconsidering a museum’s function and value in the community, MUŻA aims to stretch the bounds of what is deemed to be a ‘conventional museum’. The museum is housed in The Auberge d’Italie, where the Italian knights of the Order of St. John once had their headquarters. It was initially built by 1629 and had several alterations to accommodate its many shifting uses throughout time.
Pro tip: Do take the ferry and head to Birgu if you have some free time. A must-see attraction, the Inquisitor’s Palace captivates tourists with its well-preserved artefacts and offers a fascinating window into the past. Additionally, one of Grand Harbour’s principal bastioned forts, Fort St. Angelo is situated near the point of Birgu and faces the eastern side of Valletta.
Day Two: Temples
The Maltese temple complexes were built over a considerable amount of time and at a number of different locations. While each site has unique characteristics, they all share a rather common architectural style. Big limestone blocks were used to construct the megalithic temples of Malta and Gozo, thus the term “megalithic” (Latin for “large stone”). They often have what have been referred to as “apses,” which were discovered to have included carved female figures.
The two temples Mnajdra and Ħaġar Qim, which are situated on Malta’s south-eastern shoreline within 500 metres of one another, are by far the most well-known by both locals and tourists.
The Tarxien Temple is a lesser-known but no less stunning temple. The Tarxien Temple is a collection of Neolithic structures that was subsequently utilised as a Bronze Age cemetery, and it is located back on Malta’s more populated eastern side.
The Ħal-Saflieni Hypogeum, an underground rock-hewn burial complex unearthed in the early 20th century, is only a short stroll from the Tarxien Temples. A stone mason who was constructing the foundation for many houses in 1902 unintentionally discovered it. Unforunately, most of the houses had been built by the time the discovery of the Hypogeum was disclosed. Consequently, the monument’s upper level suffered permanent harm. The site was public property by the end of 1903, and excavation continued there until 1911.
The discovery of these temples greatly enhanced Malta’s sense of national identity by firmly establishing the existence of a vibrant ancient civilisation on the island. Additionally, the discoveries sparked a widespread interest that led to a first-time public concern for the preservation of Malta’s historical riches.
Day Three: Gozo
For such a small island, Gozo boasts a great number of museums with intriguing exhibits. The art shown at Gozo’s museums and galleries ranges from 5000-year-old statuettes to moon rock, historical graffiti to contemporary works of art. The Citadel is home to the majority of the museums, with the other ones scattered around the villages. They cover a wide range of topics, including archaeology, crafts, theology, science, toys, and jail cells, but all give insight into the heart and spirit of Gozo, both in the past and the present.
Victoria is where you can find the the Old Prison. While a separate block of six individual cells makes up the remainder of the prison, which was in use from the middle of the 16th century until the beginning of the 20th century, the entrance hall from today’s prison served as a communal cell in the 19th century and is now home to a permanent exhibition on fortifications. The Knights of St. John utilised this jail to house their noisy and disruptive members right away when they arrived in Malta.
One of the few windmills from the Knights’ Period still standing in the Maltese Islands is the Ta’ Kola Windmill in ix-Xagħra, Gozo. Dating back to 1720, Villagers used to bring their grain to be crushed into flour when the wind conditions were favourable. The top of the mill still has the large millstones attached to the main milling machinery, which is surrounded by the living and working quarters of the miller.
Behind the mediaeval Courts of Justice, in one of the twisting corridors of the Citadel, lies the Gozo Nature Museum, another attraction showcases the environmental history of the island, its natural resources, and how the island’s inhabitants utilise them.The museum is located in three adjoining homes from the first half of the seventeenth century. The structure was used as an inn in the eighteenth century and as a shelter for families fleeing aerial bombing during World War II. The displays on the lower level center on the island of Gozo in particular, geology, minerals, and the development of humans and other animals. The upper level displays the
Citadel, Gozo
Palazzo Falson
animals, plants, and ecosystems of the Maltese Islands. A little garden at the Museum’s back features a number of native and garigue species, including the Maltese Rock Centaury, which serves as the nation’s official plant.
Day Four: Rabat & Mdina
Rabat and neighbouring Mdina, the ‘silent city’ are rich in history, packed with museums and enticing attractions that cater for all the family. For instance, the Wignacourt Museum stands out because it caters to tourists of all preferences. The museum presents an exhibition of numerous paintings, relics, and other religious artefacts in what was formerly the baroque home of the Chaplains of the Knights of the Order of St. John. Proceed to St. Paul’s Catacombs, a maze of underground tombs, underneath the museum. Interestingly, these catacombs are Malta’s earliest archaeological representation of Christianity.
The Mdina Dungeons are located beneath Vilhena Palace, just inside Mdina’s main
gate. Explore the rooms and underground corridors while screaming your way through an immersive tour into the sinister past of the city. The different forms of torture that took place when Malta was a colony under the reign of the Romans, Arabs, the Knights of Malta, and even the French are recreated here by a variety of wax figures. (p.s this is a tad on the gruesome side. Thus, this is not recommended for the faint-hearted!)
You cannot truly soak in Mdina’s beauty without visiting the Palazzo Falson.
The two-story Palazzo Falson building was initially constructed in the Middle Ages and later enlarged. The museum has a number of displays of antiques and artwork in addition to housing its most recent occupant, who lived there permanently in the early 20th century, and his vast collection of historical artefacts. It belonged to Olof Frederick Gollcher, a descendent of a Swedish-Maltese family who made a fortune in Malta in shipping. Olof was an artist, a philanthropist and art lover who collected objets d’art, mostly from travels throughout his life. Olof’s house in Mdina is filled with antique furniture, silver pieces, oriental carpets,
paintings, ship models, armoury, rare books, watches, jewellery and many other valuable artefacts.
Gustav Café is also open to guests for refreshments on the rooftop terrace of the museum.
The Domus Romana museum is situated halfway between Mdina and Rabat. These museums were unintentionally found to contain the ruins of an aristocratic Roman mansion in 1881.
Since then, the exquisite mosaics and the artefacts on show provide an engaging viewing of what is known about Malta during the Roman era.
The Malta Aviation Museum at Ta’ Qali, which covers everything about planes and the history of aviation, is just ten minutes away from Mdina. The museum, which is situated in three hangars, details the history of aviation on the island and has artefacts, particularly from the Second World War and the post-war eras. Some of the planes being maintained and restored by the museum are still in working order.
OH MY MALTA
Domus Romana
Valletta, Malta’s capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its rich history and stunning architecture.
Built by the Knights of St John, this tiny city boasts over 320 monuments, Baroque masterpieces like St John’s Co-Cathedral, and signature Maltese balconies. A pedestrian-friendly hub, it blends historical charm with modern vibrancy, attracting visitors worldwide.
Words by Dayna Camilleri Clarke
Valletta, the capital of Malta, is a truly unique city that mixes historical grandeur with modern day life. Perched on a rocky
peninsula, it overlooks the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the famous Grand Harbour.
As Malta’s cultural and administrative heart, Valletta boasts plenty of of architectural marvels, from stunning churches and palaces to grand fortifications and bustling markets. The city’s streets are lined with lively cafes, boutique shops, and charming restaurants, offering a taste of Malta’s unique cuisine and hospitality. How much do you know much about Valletta?
Here are ten quirky facts!
It’s a World Heritage City Valletta is one of the smallest capitals in Europe. In 1980, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its
concentration of historical buildings and well-preserved 16th-century architecture.
It was Built by the Knights of St John
The city was founded in 1566 by the Order of St John, a group of knights known for their military prowess and charitable work. They built Valletta as a fortified city after the Great Siege of 1565, which saw them successfully defend Malta from the Ottoman Empire.
It’s Named After a Grand Master
Valletta is named after Jean Parisot de Valette, the Grand Master of the Order of St John, who played a significant role in defending Malta during the Great Siege and subsequently laid the city’s first stone.
The Grid Layout
Unusually for a city of its age, Valletta was designed with a grid street plan. This innovative design was intended to facilitate defence and efficient movement within the city.
Tiny But Dense
Valletta covers an area of just 0.8 square kilometres (0.3 square miles), making it one of the smallest capital cities in the world. Despite its small size, it is packed with over 320 historic monuments, making it one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world!
No Cars Allowed
n recent years, Valletta has limited car access to protect its historic streets. Many areas within the city are pedestrianised, making it more pleasant for walking tours and reducing pollution.
Underground Valletta
Beneath Valletta lies a complex network of tunnels and shelters. These were used extensively during World War II to protect residents from aerial bombardments. Some of these tunnels date back to the time of the Knights.
Signature Maltese Balconies
Valletta is famous for its distinctive wooden balconies, known as ‘gallarija’, which are brightly painted and extend over the streets. These balconies were introduced in the 17th century and have become a symbol of Maltese architecture.
It’s
a Living Baroque Masterpiece
St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta is considered one of Europe’s finest examples of Baroque architecture. Its plain exterior belies the stunningly ornate interior, which includes a famous painting by Caravaggio, ‘The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist’.
A Popular Film Location
Valletta has been a popular location for filmmakers due to its historic and picturesque setting. Movies such as ‘Gladiator’, ‘Napoleon’, ‘World War Z’, and ‘Assassin’s Creed’ have used Valletta’s streets and buildings to stand in for various historical and fictional locations.
A Winter Walk to Laferla Cross in Siġġiewi
Experience the serene beauty of Malta’s countryside with a winter walk to Laferla Cross. Perched atop Siġġiewi’s plateau, this iconic landmark offers breathtaking views, peaceful trails, and a glimpse into Malta’s deep Christian heritage and natural splendor.
Words by Dayna Camilleri Clarke
December is the perfect time for a leisurely walk up to Laferla Cross, (is-Salib tal-Għolja) one of Malta’s most iconic landmarks. The rolling hills are dotted with olive trees and rubble walls; the air is crisp and refreshing. The Maltese landscape transforms into a picturesque wonderland as the winter chill sets in. If you are unsure what to do on one of those clear blue-skied sunny days, this walk may be just the tonic for you.
Laferla Cross, perched atop a plateau in Siġġiewi, stands tall and proud at 200 meters above sea level. From this vantage point, you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the ancient cities of Mdina and Valletta, the picturesque Dingli Cliffs, and the rugged terrain of the Siġġiewi plateau itself.
The journey to Laferla Cross is as rewarding as the destination; it’s a scenic route where you can really escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. There are two main paths to choose from: a paved road that winds gently up the hill, suitable for all ages and abilities, and a steeper, more challenging trail, known as the pilgrim’s way.
This route, often taken during the annual Maundy Thursday pilgrimage, is adorned with sculptures depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ and hundreds of candles.
As you ascend the hill, the landscape unfolds, a mixture of luscious verdant valleys and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea in the distance. The air is filled with the sweet scent of citrus fruits and the warmth
of the winter sun. Although the temperatures have dropped lately, it’s well worth taking water and some snacks for the route!
Upon reaching the summit, you’ll immediately be greeted by the imposing sight of The Laferla Cross, its weathered bronze surface gleaming in the sunlight. The cross stands as a symbol of faith and devotion to the Maltese, a reminder of the enduring strength of the human spirit.
Take a moment to reflect on the beauty and spirituality of the place, and let the tranquillity of the surroundings wash over you. After soaking in the breathtaking views and the serene atmosphere, descend the hill and return to the winding streets of Siġġiewi.
What is Laferla Cross?
The Laferla Cross is a symbol of Malta’s deep Christian heritage. It was erected in 1903 to commemorate the Holy Year of 1900. The cross was named after Reverend Paul Laferla, who initiated its construction.
Over the years, the cross has been restored and replaced on numerous occasions. The current cross, made of bronze and iron, was erected in 1963.
Whether you are a devout pilgrim or simply an admirer of beautiful scenery, a winter walk to Laferla Cross is an experience you will remember. It is a chance to escape into nature and connect with the tranquillity of Malta’s more rural areas.
WELCOME TO Gozo
by Terrence Mifsud
The Maltese name for Gozo, 'Għawdex' has a long and illustrious history. Archaeological evidence indicates that the island was inhabited as early as 5000 BCE. The Ġgantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are among the most prominent historical sites. The island's prehistoric heritage and the inventiveness of its ancient residents are demonstrated by these megalithic structures, which are older than the Pyramids of Giza.
The Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Knights of St. John are just a few of the civilisations that have influenced Gozo over the years. Each had a lasting impression on the architecture and culture of the island. The Arabic era (870–1127 CE) saw the development of Gozo's name and language. Especially during the Great Siege of 1551, when the Ottoman Turks seized and enslaved the whole inhabitants, the fortified city of Rabat, now known as Victoria, is a testament to the island's tenacity.
Malta's archipelago of tiny islands enjoys a healthy dose of competition.
Here, rivalries of some kind are commonplace and will remain so until the end of time, whether they be between the north and the south, or one political party against the other. And like other "battles," the one between the Maltese language and Gozitan dialect is a tasteful one. For example, in standard Maltese, a tiny table is called "tavolina," while in Gozo, it is called "mejdina," which is formed from the Maltese word "mejda" with the diminutive suffix "-ina." The term "pinuri," which denotes medical tablets, is another example. Although "pilloli" is the corresponding term in Maltese, Gozitans frequently use alternatives like "pinuri" or "pinnoli." Another Gozitan word for spoiling someone with presents or affection is "hajm," while the Maltese word for the same is "fsied." Gozo's unique cultural character is reflected in these linguistic peculiarities, which also give the island an air of charm.
Adventurers and nature lovers alike will find paradise in Gozo's scenery. The island is distinct from the more crowded main island of Malta due to its rustic beauty, which is
characterised by terraced farms, cliffs, and rolling hills. The Azure Window, a limestone arch that tragically fell in 2017, was one of the most famous natural sights. The Dwejra region is still a breathtaking natural wonder, nevertheless. Swimming and diving are ideal in the Inland Sea, a serene lagoon that is linked to the Mediterranean by a tiny arch.
Ramla Bay, known for its vibrant red sand, is another popular spot. Rich in legend, this beach is among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean and is said to be the location of Calypso's grotto, where Homer's Odysseus was imprisoned. The Ta' Cenc Cliffs, on the other hand, are a popular destination for hikers and birdwatchers in addition to providing expansive views of the Mediterranean and being home to uncommon plants and animals.
Victoria, the capital city, is a hive of activity with its Citadel set on a hill. In addition to housing a number of museums, including the Old Prison and the Gozo Museum of Archaeology, the Citadel provides expansive views over the island.
It's relatively straightforward to get to Gozo from the main island. Ferries often run between Mgarr Harbour in Gozo and Ćirkewwa, which is situated near Malta's northern point. Beautiful views of the Mediterranean and the neighbouring island of Comino may be seen throughout the about 25-minute journey.
There are several ways to get around Gozo once you're there. For those who choose to see the island at their own speed, renting a
vehicle or a scooter is a popular choice. As an alternative, public buses link important cities and points of interest. Think about taking a guided tour or renting a bike for a more relaxed experience.
Immerse yourself in Gozo's culture and customs to fully appreciate the island. Savour classic Gozitan dishes like 'mqaret' (pastries filled with dates), 'ftira' (a kind of bread topped with fresh toppings including tuna, olives, capers and tomatoes), and 'pastizzi' (flaky pastries filled with ricotta, chicken or peas).
Discover the artisanal crafts of the island, including ceramics and lacemaking, and stop by the local markets to buy keepsakes that honour Gozo's history. Don't pass up the chance to visit the Ta' Pinu Basilica, a revered site that attracts both pilgrims and tourists.
Gozo promises an adventure, whether you're admiring historic temples, learning the beautiful Gozitan dialect, or taking in the stunning scenery of the island.

Things to See and Do in Gozo
Xwejni Salt Pans
A sight to behold, the Xwejni Salt Pans are situated along the northern shore of Gozo. A striking contrast to the blue water is produced by the geometric design these 350-year-old salt pans have cut into the limestone. Generation after generation has carried on the salt-making heritage here. Visitors may take a stroll around the pans, see how salt is harvested, and even buy some locally made salt as a one-of-a-kind memento.
Marsalforn
For those looking for a combination of leisure and discovery, this little beach village is ideal. Visitors may savour fresh seafood while taking in views of the water from the bustling promenade of cafés and restaurants in Marsalforn. With its pristine seas that showcase a plethora of marine life, it is also a popular destination for water activities like diving and snorkelling (yes, it's a popular activity even in January). Take a walk along the shoreline or unwind on the pebbled beach for a more relaxed pastime.
Sanap Cliffs
The Sanap Cliffs in Munxar are a great place to go for a serene atmosphere and stunning views. These lesser-known cliffs provide expansive views of the rocky shoreline and the Mediterranean. Sanap offers a more sedate retreat than the more well-known Ta' Cenc Cliffs, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll or a picturesque picnic. In the spring, wildflowers adorn the landscape, demonstrating the area's abundant flora. As the cliffs and the boundless sea below are illuminated by the golden hues of the sunset, it's a great place to just unwind and let time stand still.
Mixta Cave
On the eastern side of Ramla Bay lies a natural cave called Mixta Cave. The Tal-Mixta Cave is situated outside the hamlet of Nadur. Located across from the well-known Calypso Cave, the cave offers an expansive view of Ramla Bay. Travellers must follow a meandering rural road to get to this natural treasure. The gorgeous scenery that greets you upon arrival makes the seemingly lengthy journey worthwhile.
A RURAL ESCAPE IN GOZO
Gozo, famously known as the island of three hills, is a rural paradise blending breathtaking landscapes, historic treasures, and authentic traditions. With its lush valleys, rugged coastline, award-winning cuisine, and vibrant cultural experiences, Gozo offers an enchanting escape filled with outdoor adventures, artisanal crafts, and rejuvenating wellness retreats in serene countryside charm.
Described as the island of three hills, Gozo has always been a rural travel destination, albeit one that boasts rich architectural and historic treasures that captivate travellers. The island's hilly landscape has ensured that Gozo has several prominent hilltops, and there are definitely more than three hills that can be explored on a rural island holiday!
The topography has graced the island with scenic landscapes that change with the seasons. Hilltops naturally lead down to valleys or gorges, some lush with greenery and fields that seem like quilt patches handstitched one next to another, and some raw and wild. The valley of Lunzjata is one beautiful valley that evokes the illustrations in fairytales, and apart from running water, it comes complete with an old chapel tucked in the cliff face. To experience the raw and untouched natural landscape, seek the Mġarr ix-Xini ravine, which cuts through the Gozitan countryside with its rugged cliffs, retaining a wild and pristine beauty.
Valleys wind their way around the island, sometimes interjoining each
other and eventually leading up to the shores and bays. Ramla Valley spouts on the expansive red sands of Ramla; Marsalforn Valley leads to one of Gozo's topmost fishermen's villages. Lunzjata Valley and Munxar Ravine intertwine on their way to Xlendi Bay, while the unique Wied il-Għasri leads to the narrow, fjord-like inlet where crystalline waters lap up at the pebbly shoreline.
Hiking and cycling are perfect ways to explore the island's rural beauty. Beyond the valleys, hills, beaches, rocky inlets and secret coves, Gozo's coastline is enriched with majestic cliffs dropping into the dark blue Mediterranean Sea.
Kayaking and boat trips around the coast will let you discover
breathtaking views. Sea adventures and activities, such as paddleboarding, snorkelling, and diving, can all be roped in as part of the rural holiday in Gozo. Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy the vibrant natural heritage of different countryside habitats like garigue, maquis and coastal areas.
Outdoor adventures are part and parcel of a rural getaway on the island. Adrenalin seekers might also try abseiling, but those who are more laid back or have mobility issues can consider the more leisurely Tuk-Tuk tours that seek out some more accessible rural paths. Whenever you're out and about at sunset, seek out vantage points to witness the spectacle of the sun bursting into gold and pink before disappearing into the horizon.

As you move around to explore the island, you will notice that villages are still spaced out from one another, some spread over the hilltops and some spilling down the slopes. The church building with the bulbous dome and high steeple is notorious in the villages' skyline, and it often stands out from the other buildings and houses like a mother hen atop its brood of chickens. In many localities, you will also stumble upon chapels. Stopping for a coffee at a village square café' will bring you faceto-face with the locals. Although Gozitans lead a modern way of life, many are still deeply tied to the village feast, an annual celebration when the community celebrates its patron saint.
Gozo has a rich cultural calendar that highlights many different aspects of rural life. Some villages hold annual festivals highlighting products such as wine, olive oil, honey, and other preserves like olives, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, local jams, and liqueurs.
Visiting an eco-farm and its fruit orchards, a sheep farm or a winery is an enriching venture. Recently, Gozo's traditional cuisine has been the recipient of an award from the International Institute of Gastronomy, Arts, Culture, and Tourism in the European Region of Gastronomy category at the Food Film Menu 2024.
For a complete rural experience, indulging in the Gozitan gastronomic experience is vital. Ensure you do not miss out on visiting a local bakery and asking for the typical 'ftira'.
Gozo's rural vibe is a mosaic, further enriched through various crafts and skills that are nowadays considered fundamental to sustainable tourism. Watch artisans at Ta' Dbieġi Crafts Village working on handmade crafts like glass blowing, pottery, loom weaving and lacemaking. A visit to the salt pans areas along the northern coast of Gozo will bring you face-to-face with the sea salt harvesting industry, but as you explore Gozo, you might stumble upon other artisans at work in their workshops.
Besides the fun, educational, and inspiring experience a rural holiday offers, Gozo's rural getaway is also about rejuvenation and wellness. Relaxing and unwinding at a countryside retreat benefits body, mind, and spirit. Many farmsteads have been renovated into comfortable holiday homes. Alternatively, you can seek out a luxurious hotel with complete spa facilities.
Whether you're here alone, with your partner, or with your family, Gozo's identity is essentially rural at its core, and this guarantees a wholesome and charming holiday focused on the outdoors, away from the fast-paced world.

Best Pastizzi Spots in Malta
Indulge in the beloved traditional pastries of Malta: pastizzi. These delectable treats have captured the hearts and taste buds of locals and visitors alike, offering a delightful culinary experience that is quintessentially Maltese. Pastizzi are flaky pastries filled with either ricotta cheese, mushy peas or even chicken, seasoned to perfection with a blend of herbs and spices.
Premier, Mosta
For the best pastizzi in Mosta, look no further than Premier. Their flaky pastry filled with flavourful peas and ricotta is a crowd-pleaser that won’t leave you feeling greasy. Grab a bite at one of the nearby benches near the Mosta Rotunda for a satisfying snack.
Cordina, Valletta
A social landmark in Valletta, Caffe Cordina offers a picturesque setting on Republic Square. Indulge in their ‘tax-xema’ pastizzi, recognisable by their round shape and puff pastry, for a lighter option that doesn’t skimp on flavour. For something even lighter, opt for their qassata, featuring the same delicious fillings but with a lighter pastry.
Rogers, Zejtun
Boasting around 80 years of experience, Roger’s Bakery in Zejtun is a beloved name in the southern region of Malta. Their pastizzi, made with vegetable butter instead of lard for a slightly healthier twist, stick to tradition while never failing to impress.
Serkin, Rabat
Serkin, situated just outside Mdina, Malta’s historic former capital, stands as the go-to destination for freshly made pastizzi, beloved by locals and visitors alike.

Recipe
Ingredients
For the dough
120g flour
235ml water, ice cold
2 tbsp oil
pinch of salt
Shortening or lard
For the filling
850g of ricotta
50g Parmesan
Pinch parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
Method
1. Make the filling by mixing all of the ingredients and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 180°C.
3. Mix the flour, water, oil and salt in a stand mixer with the dough hook attached.
4. The dough is ready when it comes away from the sides of the bowl and is elastic.
5. Remove the dough from the bowl and rub lightly with lard or shortening.
6. Let the dough sit for 15 mins and then cover in cling film and place in the fridge for 30 mins.
7. Cut the dough in half and working one half at a time stretch and roll out the dough into a rectangle shape.
8. Roll the dough until very thin and almost see-through.
9. Rub the top of the dough with a thick layer of lard or shortening.
10. Start rolling the dough on itself in as you would a roly poly. The tighter you can get this the better as this is what determines the flakiness of the finished product.
11. Once the dough has been rolled up into a sausage shape, roll out the second half of the dough and cover in lard or shortening as you did with the first half.
12. When you come to roll the second half, place the first sausage-shaped roll onto the rolled out pastry and roll them
together into one sausage shape.
13. Lay it in a coil and put it in the freezer until almost frozen. This makes it easier to cut and work at later stages.
14. Remove from the freezer and cut a 4-inch slice off the end. You should be able to see all the layers from when you rolled the pastry.
15. Place the slice between two layers of plastic wrap with the interior layers facing up.
16. Roll into a circle shape and place a tablespoon of filling into the centre.
17. Fold one of the edges until it meets the other, squashing the ends together to make a… err… pastizz-shape.
18. Lay it on a greased baking sheet and either freeze or bake.
19. Bake the pastizzi for 20 mins until golden.
20. Indulge in these freshly baked pastizzi with a good old cup of warm tea. Delicious.
From Carlow to The Crowns
Jimmy Tyrrell’s Chart-Topping Chapter
Dayna Camilleri Clarke sits down with Jimmy Tyrrell to discuss his journey from Ireland to Malta, joining The Crowns, and their electrifying new album breakupbeard, which explores love, loss, and the raw power of moving forward.
Jimmy Tyrrell’s journey to joining Malta’s most beloved band, The Crowns, is as heartfelt as the music they create together. Hailing from the town of Carlow, Ireland, Jimmy brings with him an extensive musical heritage rooted in family singalongs and the enduring melodies of Johnny Cash and The Beatles. Now calling Malta home, Jimmy’s path, from playing local gigs to making waves on X Factor Malta has culminated in a powerhouse collaboration with popular local band, The Crowns. Together, they’ve crafted breakupbeard, an electrifying new album that fuses raw emotion with high-energy soundscapes.
With a knack for storytelling and a voice that connects, Jimmy is carving a new chapter for The Crowns and for himself. He is proving that music, much like life, is about embracing change and finding your rhythm along the way. We caught up with the popular singer to find out more.
Your musical journey began in Ireland. How did your roots shape the artist you are today? How has your experience on X Factor Malta and now working with The Crowns refined your artistry?
Like everything else, it starts with family. Growing up in Carlow, Ireland, music has always been a big part of our culture, and the same was true for me. My parents sang Johnny Cash, my sisters introduced me to everything from Aerosmith to Damien Rice, and my uncle exclusively played Beatles albums on road trips to see Nanna. I sang Twist & Shout so much as a kid that I was properly shocked when I saw another car full of people singing along to it in traffic, I’d convinced myself that was my tune.
I taught myself guitar at 15, after being so impressed when my neighbour won a school talent show with their version of Johnny B. Goode, a song featured in one of my favourite movies, Back to the Future. I formed a rock band with my mates, played the local bar scene for years, and kept writing songs even after university took us to different cities.
I decided to move to Malta in 2014 to give music a proper shot, and I haven’t looked back since. I really love this little island. I gigged here solo for a couple of years before deciding post-COVID that it was now or never and gave X Factor a crack. It was an
invaluable experience. You learn to give the audience what they want in a short window while staying true to yourself, which is pretty important in this industry. It’s also how I met The Crowns. Their 15 years of experience elevated our album, taking my acoustic voice notes and turning them into high-energy tracks with lots of layers. Without them, breakupbeard would sound completely different.
"I decided to move to Malta in 2014 to give music a proper shot, and I haven’t looked back since. I really love this little island. I gigged here solo for a couple of years before deciding post-COVID that it was now or never and gave X Factor a crack. It was an invaluable experience.
"I really enjoyed your new album with The Crowns, breakupbeard. Congratulations on your release! How did this collaboration come about?
Thanks a million! They reached out after amicably parting ways with their previous singer last spring. I had an A4 pad full of scribbled-down songs that could do with
a home, and they were open to taking the band in a new direction. It’s a new sound for them, and thankfully, people seem to like what we’ve put out.
They’ve been friends for years, but they were especially welcoming right off the bat. I showed up in a full arm cast to the first rehearsal after breaking my arm playing football a few days prior. I’m pretty sure they thought I was nuts, and they were quick to joke about it. They’ve got a great sense of humour, they’re passionate about music, and they’re damn good at it too.
We’ve had an incredible year of writing, recording, and gigging together. One wedding gig even ended with some crowdsurfing. We’re getting to the stage where they can even understand my accent sometimes!
The music industry can be tough to navigate. What challenges have you faced, and how have they helped you all grow?
Yeah, well, success is rarely a straight line, of course. It’s ups and downs, and you have to just deal with it. The Crowns have seen these massive highs like Best Band awards and hit records, but they’ve also experienced being out of the limelight.
X Factor gave me a similar high and reality check. After the show, there was national TV, press, and festivals, the whole 15-seconds-of-fame playbook, but it didn’t lead to instant, sustained success. So you learn your lessons along the way, just like with any other job. You grow by staying humble, working hard, and not forgetting what makes you you.”
Where do you draw inspiration for your music? What inspired the new album, and can you tell us what the songs are about?
The album, breakupbeard, describes the time you take after a relationship to feel, heal, and move on. Each song deals with a stage of love and separation. For example Heavy Breathing explores romance and intimacy, Amy is about love and addiction and the lead single, Out of Our Minds, is about healing through distraction.
Everyone handles loss differently. Some bury themselves in work or religion, some start dating immediately, and others numb the pain by partying. This song focuses on the latter. It started as a melancholic acoustic track but evolved like a Pokémon into an upbeat tune about moving forward, even if it’s in self-destructive ways.
If you close your eyes while listening, ‘To get you out of my head, I get out of my mind’, it’s meant to put you in a scene: jumping around at a music festival with your nearest and dearest, drumming on your steering wheel, singing badly at the top of your lungs. Maybe a kid will see you blasting it out in the car and have his own Twist & Shout moment. A man can dream, eh?
That’s the feeling we wanted to capture. There are songs in here that are soft, sweet, and sad; others that are punchy, fun, and rocky. We wanted breakupbeard to sound raw and real, but also cathartic. The choruses aren’t packed full of words for a reason—sing along and really let her rip.
How do you stay grounded after performing on big stages for large audiences, and what advice would you give to aspiring musicians looking to follow a similar path?
New, exciting things are supposed to be scary, and that’s grand! Everyone wants their buddies to succeed, and other people are too busy with their own problems to wish any on you, mate.
Listen to advice from experienced musicians, show someone that song you wrote, that riff you came up with. It’s like a bike, just start pedaling, and it’ll be easier to keep going. And when you’re absolutely terrified, just pretend you’re brave. Like that lion from The Wizard of Oz.

Framed Stamp Prints
At Bolli they select rare and historic postage stamps from past centuries, which in their own way tell Malta’s history of being a British colony. They scan them at an ultrahigh resolution to preserve their authenticity and retouch them to restore their original vibrancy. These designs are then printed on museum paper and hand-cut to mimic the original perforations of a postage stamp.
Mobile Phone Lanyards
