Malta (Malta)

Hola everyone!!

This past few days, I had the opportunity to go to Malta with my 2 Canadian roommates, Darryl and Hans. For those of you who don't know where Malta is, it is a small island located in the Mediterranean, underneath Italy.  It is a very small and unknown to most, however, it is a little island busting with history!

Quick Tip for those of you who are interested in ever visiting Malta: It is part of the European Union so their currency is the Euro.  However, don't be fooled, as Malta is a British colony - they use British outlets!!  Citizens on the island speak Maltese, however, most also speak English.

During our trip, we stayed in Paceville, the nightlife capital of the island.  You can basically walk down the streets of the district and see bars, clubs, and restaurants door-to-door.  Definitely a great spot for the younger crowd!  On our first night, we headed down to Havana club, the biggest club on the island, a must!

Throughout the rest of our stay, we visited Valletta (the capital), Mdina (former capital), St-Julians, and Sliema.  As you can see in the pictures, Malta went through numerous wars, and still has most of its original structures.  Many of the main cities are surrounded by their original gates and city walls, as well as a fort at the water front.

I know most people are not really aware of this island and exactly what it has to offer, but we went there at the mid-end of November and it was still short and t-shirts weather for most of our stay!!  Also, depending where you go on the island, there are beautiful beaches and blue water lagoons and grottos.  While we were there, people were still swimming in the sea!

Anyways enjoy the pictures!!

- Next stop Paris and Madrid!
