Malta's Mediterranean fusion

[Guest post by Luz Vega in Malta] At the beginning of the summer I was lucky enough to be able to travel to Malta, a small European country that although close to me was totally unknown. Although it was a short stay I would like to share what I learned about this unique place.

Malta is a small Mediterranean country located between Sicily and Libya, consisting of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino.

La Valletta is the mind city of Malta

In Malta, you can perceive a multitude of cultures. Its melting pot of languages reminds us of its turbulent past, due to its strategic location (a point of union between the European and African continents allows it to have a good control over the Mediterranean Sea).

For this reason, the archipelago of Malta has been disputed by the most important powers of antiquity: Carthage, Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the Spanish or the British. All of them have left a sample of their past in these lands.

Old cities for new citizens

Malta is a place where you can breathe antiquity. You can still find mythological places and legends, such as the cave of Calypso, the nymph that lived with Ulysses on the island of Ogigia, which some studies have wanted to locate as the island of Gozo.

Malta was populated by Phoenicians (750 AC) and thereafter began to become one of the most important sites of trade in the Mediterranean

Its ancient medieval cities remind us of terrible battles and wars. Among its streets you can still see the headquarters and palaces that occupied the ancient orders of knights-warriors after the crusades. Even the palace of the Inquisition is preserved.

Numerous figures of saints seem to observe us from the corners of the houses and remind us that it is a country of great religious fervor

Currently it is a popular country for tourists and is invaded by other hordes, that of young tourists who are looking for the sun and party, a mass tourism.

The beaches are crowded in the summer

I hope that this activity will be respectful of this ancient place, although all the cranes and new apartment buildings that are being built on the coast foreshadow the opposite.

We will never learn.
