Maltese Food

Malta is a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean, with 300 days of sunshine during the year and very wet winters. Being positioned in the Mediterranean region, it features Italian and North African dishes in its cuisine. Pasta and pizza are very common dishes in restaurants and home cooking, but the traditional Maltese dishes tend to be hearty and meat-based.

Some examples of Maltese food include bragjoli, timpana and rabbit stew.

Sports in Malta

Malta has a dry climate in summer (no rain) and mild winters with a lot of rain and wind, so it is not the best for open-air sports. However, it is a perfect place for water sports like snorkelling, scuba-diving or windsurfing.
