MALTA, VALETTA ,and Medina , April 10th- 11th , 2008 Thursday and Friday

Malta's Capitals Old & New


Take the scenic route to Malta's old capital, Mdina—one of the world's finest examples of a living medieval city. Stroll through the city's narrow streets and let your guide introduce you to Mdina's history and provide an orientation to the town itself. From the bastions, enjoy the fantastic view over the valley and the surrounding areas. After your walking tour, take advantage of some free time to visit either the cathedral or another historic site pointed out by your guide. There is also the option of souvenir shopping. Ride by motor coach to Valletta—the present-day capital. You'll walk to St John's Co-Cathedral and view this lovely building from the outside. Also, view the Grand Master's Palace from the outside—it now houses the Parliament and the President's Office. Use your free time to either visit St John’s Co-Cathedral, or for shopping, or simply relax at one of the sidewalk cafés and watch the world go by, Malta-style. Walk past the Auberge de Castille—the office of the Prime Minister—and your last stop is at the Barrakka Gardens, located on the highest point of the 16th-century walls that the Knights of St John built to protect their city. Take in the splendid view of the Three Cities and Fort Ricasoli.


Recuerdo que este puerto no estaba en el itinerario original, luego cambiaron la parada que teníamos que hacer el el puerto de Tripoli Libia por este de Valetta, era por un solo día pero la noche anterior se enfermo alguien en
el barco y tuvimos que adelantarnos y llegar a Malta en la tarde,,,,del dia 10....
