The Island of Gozo region
A completely unsophisticated island, Gozo is an ideal place for a quiet holiday and offers ample of facilities for walking, sightseeing, wine tasting, sunbathing, swimming and diving in the deep blue seas. From its many flat topped hills the visitor looks down on fertile valleys and lovely folklore villages. The beauty of unspoilt life that goes on in this essentially farming and fishing island is enchanting. As regards its history Gozo follows the same pattern as its bigger sister Malta - subject to the same conquests and the same vicissitudes. Also here the island has much to offer to the tourist: places connected with events to the past, towers and fortifications, churches and chapels with its interesting history, traditions kept alive in the normal life of the people and .... and .... many legends and myths. When nature comes in, the tourist can easily see that it has scaterred its treasures with a very generous hand on the Isle of Calypso: enchanting landscapes and wonderful beauty spots, golden sands and rocky beaches, fascinating inlets and sheltered bays, hills and valleys which all help to give the island a personality of its own. The Maltese Islands got an excellent climate with sunny hot weather throughout the long summer months.
Gharb area
Gharb (pronounced Arb) lage on the island and was once guarded and inhabited by the Arabics which is why Gharb got the name from. Gharb means West in Arabic as this village is located on the wast side of the island. Gharb got many legends including of San Dimitri, the Oil Chapel and the Fungus plant family. In Gharb you will find the stunning Miraculous Basilica of Ta Pinu and the museum of Frenc ta` l-Gharb who was a farmer who used to heal people with herbs. Many people visit Ta` Pinu Miraculous Basilica and Frenc ta` l-Gharb with faith that one day they will get the grace that they want! Gharb is located very close to the Azure Window, the Inland Sea and the Fungus Rock. The Religious feast of Gharb is celebrated on the 1st week of July with fireworks glittering into the dark high skies and scattered Saint Catherine wheels on the ground to throw colourfull sparks, lit up streets for the Saint to pass from and then back into the well lit and lovely tapestry decorated church. Band marches will take part in the feast whilst locals will throw confetti from their balconies and roof terraces.
