Malta, Dingli Cliffs.
Malta, Gozo, Comino. |
| Dingli Cliffs are on Malta's South Western coast and have to be visited if only for the name! There are great views out to sea from here, looking across the terraced fields, which fall away beneath you. The many huts you can see are used for trapping small birds. A female bird (e.g. Bullfinch) is caged just outside the hut where it sings to attract the more attractive male of the species. As the male bird approaches it is trapped by the burly Maltese who is watching from his hut. Warning: these people do not like to be observed by tourists. You may well be "shooed" away if they feel you are taking an interest.
The small road carries on for some way along the top of Malta's Dingli cliffs and provides a good place for a (breezy) walk There is also a well signed restaurant to reward yourself after your exertions.
