Malta 2022. This is our trip to the Maltese Islands in December of 2022, a year when all three of us returned to visit a friend in Marsaskala.
Join us in exploring Malta!
One more week in Malta came to an end and we are since a few weeks back in Sweden. This was our first time visiting Malta in December, a month that usually doesn’t include much traveling for us. We flew to Malta with Ryanair from Stockholm Arlanda Airport. This time we decided to travel lightly…
Our last day in Malta eventually arrived. Susann and Little A were a bit tired after the long walks in Valletta the day before. I had instead not had enough of my hikes for this trip. My 20-kilometer hike from Blue Grotto to Dingli Cliffs and Mdina had been great and I was looking for…
After exploring the megalithic temples in Tarxien we were soon on our way to Valletta, the capital of Malta. We had visited the city earlier the same week but this time we wanted to explore the Christmas market and surrounding festivities. It was after all mid-December and the Maltese do take Christmas seriously. In addition,…
In December 2022, we visited Malta. When our week there started coming close to an end, we looked at what more we wanted to see during our sixth day in the country. We had a few times during the week talked about the many temples on the island, so we decided to check one out….
I do like to walk a lot when traveling, there is just something special about exploring a new place on foot. So while Susann and Little A felt the need for a day of resting, I looked for a possible hike along the coast of Malta. It turned out that my initial plan of walking…
I had during our first evening in Malta proposed to go exploring parts of the Victoria Lines during the week. The Victoria Lines were built by the British in the 19th century and went across the whole island. The proposal resulted in a plan for a Maltese Road Trip. Our friend, with whom we were…
With the exception of the hot summer visits, there has been one re-occurring activity during my six times to Malta. That is to push the limit on how much of the island is possible to explore on foot. One of the easiest hikes is along the shores of the bay housing the Marsamxett Harbour. This…
Christmas is something many of us in the Nordics associate with cold temperatures and hopefully some snowfall. That is not what you get when visiting Malta in December. It might be winter with occasional rainfall, but it is still something some of us associate with summer temperatures back home. Yes, it has been an unusually…
One thing that is easy to forget when visiting Malta is how short the distances actually are. Exploring Malta on foot should in many regards be quite easy. It is usually only the temperature and the amount of traffic that might cause obstacles to any hiking plan. Our visit to Marsaskala in December turned out…
There is that special feeling when you return to a place abroad that you have visited before. That familiarity with the surrounding, knowing where to go, where to eat, and especially where to find the playgrounds. We had visited Marsaskala two times before this trip and visiting our friend here has been a nice way…
This year, we had for a long time been tempted to go somewhere warmer for a week in December. We had even decided which week we should go, the week before the Christmas chaos starts. But where to go? We were for a long time looking at the Canary Islands and especially the islands of…
