The Island of Gozo region
Malta’s climate is strongly influenced by the sea and is typical of the Mediterranean. The Islands have a very sunny climate with a daily average of five to six hours sunshine in mid-winter to more than 12 hours in summer. The charm of Gozo is apparent the moment you arrive there. Greener, more rural and smaller than Malta, life on Gozo moves at a leisurely pace. The rhythms dictated by the seasons, fishing and agriculture.
In winter and spring, the Island is covered with flowering herbs and lush crops. In summer, it’s awash with oleander, bougainvillea and geranium.
Gozo is steeped in myth. Thought to be the legendary Calypso’s isle of Homer’s Odyssey, it’s a peaceful, mystical backwater. Baroque churches and old stone farmhouses dot the countryside.
Its rugged landscape and spectacular coastline await exploration. Choose from rocky inlets to red sand beaches or sail, snorkel, dive and fish. Gozo has some of the Mediterranean’s best dive sites.
But there’s more. Gozo comes complete with historical sites, forts and amazing panoramas. Plus one of the archipelago’s best-preserved prehistoric temples, Ggantija. Not to mention a night-life and cultural calendar all its own, and some great dining out.
Munxar area
Wedged between the sloping sides of two parallel valleys Munxar is a closely-knit village community - a characteristic evoked by its motto, 'Parvulus set munitus', small but secure. Munxar is Maltese for 'bucksaw', a saw set in an adjustable H shaped frame used for sawing firewood on a buck. The imagery is suggested by the promontory that runs from behind the village church sawing into the surrounding area creating Ghancija valley on the Munxar side and Xlendi valley on the Fontana side.
The name is first recorded as 'il monxar' in a notarial deed of July 2, 1584. A 1790 census showed 79 families living in Munxar. Since then the village population, excepting minor interludes such as the cholera outbreak of 1837, has been gradually increasing, reaching a present aggregate just short of seven hundred. Worth mentioning are the remnants of a prehistoric temple at Ta' Marziena, Munxar.
Throughout the years, Munxar has always retained exclusive features and traditions. In the last decade however,Munxar Centre young people have been inclined to abandon their parents' ploughshare, herd and household chores in favour of books and a more rewarding job which yields money and satisfaction. Eminent among the village people is Professor Joseph Aquilina - a name synonymous to the native language.
Within a stone's throw of Munxar's parish church, there is Xlendi Bay, a popular tourist resort encompassed within a sprawling countryside. The lapping blue ripples which caress the golden sands in summer change to surging foam and heaving waves in mid-Winter. Otherwise foreigners and locals gaze spell bound as the copper red sunsets of late Spring and early Autumn adorn the clear waters with gilded streaks on a garnished phosphorescence.
Besides the parish church, a temple wrought from the typical Maltese milk-white stone, Munxar prides itself with an impressive Parish Centre, the foundations of which were laid in 1972. The building of this multi-purpose complex was terminated in the subsequent years, following the indefatigable efforts of the community wisely led by Fr. Savior Debrincat parish priest at that time. In time the parish centre has become the hub of practically all major pastoral, social, educational, cultural and recreational activities of the village.
