The Island of Gozo region
A completely unsophisticated island, Gozo is an ideal place for a quiet holiday and offers ample of activities such as walking, sightseeing, winetasting, sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and diving into the 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 island 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 scattered 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 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) is the oldest village on the island of Gozo and was once guarded and inhabited by the Arabics which is why the village got its name from. Gharb means west in Arabic as this village is located on the west side of the island. Gharb got many legends including of San Dimitri, the Oil Chapel and 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 and used to heal people with herbs. Many people visit Ta` Pinu the Miraculous Basilica of Ta` Pinu 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, Inland Sea and 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 coulorfull sparks, lit up streets for the Saint to pass from and then back into the well lit and tapestry decorated church. Band marches will take part in the feast whilst locals will throw confetti from their balconies and roof terraces. At the feast you can taste the local delicies such as the pastry cheese and peas cake, soft and hard nougat, deepfried pastry filled with dates, honey rings, macaroons, local pizza and much much more to fill up your tummy!
