St Paul’s Bay, Buggiba and Qwara.

Anne and I were told by staff at the Guilleru Harbour Hotel that in the summer months this area is very very busy and would not be the place for a quiet holiday.

Recently (20th September 2003) I spoke to two of my tennis playing friends, Chris S and Barry F. They told me that they had been to Malta one summer back in the 1970's. They had enjoyed their holiday but were unable to remember visiting any places and certainly did not do any walking. Alcholic amnesia? Yes, you've guessed it. They stayed in Buggiba and spent most of the day - probably all of the day - in one of the numerous bars in the town.

However, in late March/early April 2003 it was wonderful. On a number of occasions we walked from St Paul's Bay to Buggiba and on to Qwara. Often we would enjoy the facilities of a local café or hotel and can only give thumbs up to this area in Spring.
