Birzebbugia - sothern city in Malta

Birzebbuga lies deep in the south on the great bay of Marsaxlokk(Pretty Bay). The city is very nice and has a certain charm. Unfortunately, this charm is shadowed by the cranes of the Malta Freeport, the air traffic and the oil tanks/pipelines of EneMalta nowadays. The bay has a nice promenade which follows the whole coastline in Birzebbuga.

The city has some viewing sights; however most of them are old. There are three batteries, however they are not open for the public. The temple, Borg in-Nadur, seems more like a back-yard garden. The church in the centre of the city is nice but also old. Interesting is the small chapel of St. George, however only for historians, because it is not open for the public. A bit outside of Birzebbuga are two caves. One is in the north (1km) and one in the south near the seaside (2-3km).

In the middle of the city is a beautiful beach with a childrens playground and two football-grounds. The water is very clear and very blue. The only thing that is destroying this beautiful scenery are the cranes of the Malta Freeport, the oil-tanks and pipelines of EneMalta and the air traffic.

Bus: 11, 12, and 13The bus-system is very easy to understand. A bus always goes two ways, either to Valletta or from Valletta away. In front of the gate of Valletta there is a huge roundabout - that’s the main bus-terminus in Malta. Some buses are also directly linking two cities between the north and south, but most of the buses are stopping in Valletta.

Cost of living in Malta

The cost of living is comparably average. Approximately 2/3 of the products consumed have to be imported from abroad. Unfortunately, the small market allows many monopolies to emerge.

Marsaxlokk and the fish-market

The market in Marsaxlokk takes place every day, but on the weekend it is the biggest - especially on Sundays. Offered are fish (only till 12 o‘clock), smaller hardware, clothes, accessories, toys, souvenirs, shoes, CDs and DVDs, fruits and vegetables, etc.

The Popeye village

The movie about Popeye (starring Robin Williams in his first ever movie!) was shot here in Malta in 1980. Only for the movie a whole village was constructed. The village is still there, north-westwards on the island - unfortunately it’s not easy reachable.
