During my two weeks in Malta I stayed in the charming neighborhood of Sliema. It was a perfect location to get out and see the rest of the island via the extensive, albeit slow, bus system. Its best asset is its promenade, which was recently developed and winds like a ribbon around the twisting inlets […]
