Really nice town. The tour was a lot of fun. Really nice are the little streets where not necessarily the sights are. Here you can enjoy the narrow paths and the old walls very nice.

November 1, 2022,Dingli Klippen, Medina und Valletta🇲🇹

Beginning of November at 26 'in the shade 😎 and in left-hand traffic 👈🧐.
The 🌞 sizzled violently, only the strong wind made it bearable 👍🚴🏼‍♂️🥴.
Narrow paths and streets, all bordered by rock walls, led us once across the island. Plus great impressions from Medina and Valletta 👍🤗.
