I visited Malta some years ago and I stayed in La Valleta. I loved the trip!

Yes Blanca the whole island is amazing. You need a month to explore it completely. For me beside La Valetta, Sliema and St George bay were special. I didn’t get a chance to visit Gozo. Pity. What about you? Did you go to Gozo?
