Malta's National Park

A picture is worth a thousand words and all of that, but photographs can also do what you want them to do.  That's why most people's facebook pages are adorned with photos of themselves smiling gleamingly at the camera surrounded by friends at a party, or lounging on an idyllic looking beach holding an ostentatious cocktail.  In the same way, I can show you these photos of Ta 'Qali National Park and you may think 'How lovely, let's go there this weekend!'

Ta 'Qali Crafts Village

This 'village' is located in the centre of Malta, on the site of an abandoned World War 2 airfield.  The old Nissen huts have been converted into shops selling various bits and pieces.  And that's the reason to come to the Crafts Village: to pick up souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else on the island and which are probably a little higher end in terms of quality.  (Although there are some cheap and cheerful knock-off shops here too.)  So this is the place for your jewellery, glassware, leather and linen needs.  It's located in the same area as the National Aviation museum, the National Park, and the National Stadium, so enough here to keep you busy after you've done your shopping.
