My Choice - Gharb & Ta' Pinu, Gozo: Music by Verdi
A tour of Gharb, Gozo and vicinity. Will drop by at Dbiegi Craft Village, then the Village of Għarb, ta' Pinu Basilica and a quick look at the picturesque Window of Wied il-Mielah.

To complement this trip we're using two of Giuseppe Verdi's compositions:
1. Va' Pensiero from the opera Nabucco
2. Overture from I Vespri Siciliani
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Verdi's first successful opera, Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar), was written in 1842. It relates the Biblical story of the captivity of the Hebrews in Babylon in the 6th century B.C.
The piece soon became a popular anthem for the Italian people, expressing their own longing for political freedom from Austria, so from a Biblical story, it became an Italian patriotic hymn.
When Verdi's coffin was carried to its final resting place a month after his death in 1901, the crowd of over 25,000 people along the route spontaneously began singing this stirring chorus.
The second selection is the Overture from the Opera I Vespri Siciliani which is an opéra in five acts by Verdi set to a French libretto by Charles Duveyrier and Eugène Scribe. It was written in 1838.
--------------------------------
Għarb is a village located at the westernmost point of the island of Gozo, Malta, with a population of 1,560 people. It started life as a small hamlet centuries ago. You can see its ancient roots in the centre of the village where some houses have fine examples of decorated stone balconies. Għarb was created as a parish in 1679, a move which gave impetus for the building of a new, baroque parish church.
Built between 1699 and 1729, it has an elegant facade which has been compared with Francesco Borromini's Church of Saint Agnes in Piazza Navona, Rome. The village square, so quintessentially Gozitan, has become the view on many a postcard. The parish church is dedicated to the visitation of Saint Mary to her cousin Saint Elizabeth.
On the square is a fascinating folklore museum housing all sorts of memorabilia retelling the Island's rural history.
Għarb lies in some of Gozo's most scenic countryside, particularly at Dbiegi, the highest hill on the Island. Also at Dbiegi is a centre for Gozitan crafts. Within the limits of Għarb is the Chapel of San Dimitri. According to legend, the first chapel was built on the cliff side by a woman whose son was freed from captivity by St. Demetrius.
Nearby is the Basilica ta' Pinu, Malta's pre-eminent shrine to the Virgin Mary. It was on this spot in 1883 that a local woman heard the voice of the Virgin. The late Karmni Grima and Frenc Tal-Gharb are two of its most renowned villagers.

2:12 Villa Rundle Garden Triq Ninu Cremona, Victoria, Island of Gozo, Malta
Right next to the Duke Shopping Centre these delightful gardens are beautifully maintained and a lovely way to while away an hour or so. Some lovely statues and some impressive plants and trees, some of which, were planted over 100 years ago. A lot of thought has gone into the use of space and colour in this garden and the centrepiece bridge is lovely.
6:08 The Citadel Victoria, Island of Gozo, Malta
Once in Gozo, one should surely go to the Citadel. With only a few families living within the Citadel walls, and the magnificent baroque Cathedral of Gozo, the Gozitan Law Courts and the Bishop's Palace at the piazza, this place will take you back in time and helps you imagine of how live was back in the days.
There's a visitors' Centre, the Cathedral Museum, the Museum of Archaeology, the Folklore Museum, the Gozo Nature Museum, the Old Prison, the Old Gunpowder Magazine, the Grain Silos, the Battery and the World War II Shelter. So if you're into history, there's a lot to see.
Just walk in the Citadel's narrow streets, and appreciate the calmness it is surrounded by.
9:20 Ta' Pinu National Shrine
40 George Borg Olivier St, Gharb, Island of Gozo, Malta

Way of the Cross at ta' Għammar Hill Gozo, Malta
This is the English language version of the Maltese video clip of the Way of the Cross. It is based on the stations that one could find on Ghammar Hill in Gozo Malta. These stations differ substantially from the traditional ones. The spiritual reflections are one these stations. It is to be noted that actually there is no statue for the first station. This message of love and understanding is dedicated especially to all those who feel aggrieved or are in their hour of need.

Coastal Towers of the Knights of Malta (Part 2)
This is the second part of the series about coastal towers erected by the Knights of Malta. The first part dealt with the towers built during the reign of Grand Masters Wignacourt and Lascaris. 1658-59 saw the construction of Grand Master Martino De Redin's famous set of 13 coastal watch-towers that were designed to send early warning signals along Malta's coast to Valletta. De Redin completed the set in 1660 with the tower at Mġarr ix-Xini on Gozo's southern coast. See also Ta' Sopu Tower built by Grand Master Cottoner in 1667 in the vicinity of San Blas and Daħlet Qorrot in Gozo.
Music by Arthur Sullivan: Macbeth Overture, Cello Concerto 3rd Movement (extract).
Gozo Ebike Tour and Gozo Cycling
After being collected at the Mgarr Ferry Terminal from Malta we travelled through Victoria the Capital of Gozo to Xewkija where my ebike and guide awaited to take me on an amazing leisurely journey for a 20 mile ride through glorious countryside, clifftops, beaches and villages.
We headed North East towards Xaghra but on the outskirts of town we turned down a narrow country lane which we followed through small farms for 2 miles before heading back to the main road. We could have rode on to Ramla Bay and Ramla beach to visit the Calypso Cave but instead we skirted the eastern boundary of Xaghra Northwards for 3 miles to Marsalforn, all the while stopping to take photos of all the beauty that is Gozo.
At Marsalforn we stopped to buy a packed lunch and water before pushing on for just another mile to the Salt Pans where we stumbled upon a promotion video being recorded for Red Bull by one of their Pro cycling stunt men.
Another mile along the cliff tops to Reqqa Point and Billinghurst Cavern, past Wied il-Ghasri to Wied ll-Mielah before heading for the Crafts Village of Għarb.
Gozo is famous for granite carving, silver filigree and lace, hand-blown glassware and honey which can all be seen here in Gharb being crafted by skilled locals who will be happy to sell you their unique wares.
But that will have to wait for another day, as we turned sharply Eastwards to visit the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu, a Roman Catholic minor basilica and national shrine located close by.
The church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu and is the only place where we met with a small group of tourists come to visit this site.
Across the road is a long track leading up to the shrine from farmland in the valley with stations of the cross carved in marble.
After a stop here for more photographs, we cycled on through Ghasri with church domes pointing to the sky over every valley, back towards Victoria, passing the Gozo Folklore Museum, the old prison, Gozo Museum of Archeology, the Opera House, St.Georges Basilica through the very heart of Victoria St.Francis Square to the South coast at Mgarr ix-Xini with amazing views of the secluded bay.
From Mgarr ix-Xini it was Northwards again for the last 4 miles through Tingi and Batista with it’s rotunda of St.John Baptist Church to our start and finish point at Xewkija.
This cycle ride was the most picturesque, leisurely cycle ride I’ve ever done in my life, and I never wanted it to end. There are so many alternative cycle routes to take on the Island of Gozo, and already I’ve mapped out a couple which I’ll do when I next return to Gozo in a few months time.
This ebike Ride will take me back through San Lawrenze and Blue Hole to Dweirja Bay and the Inland Sea Dive-site to take a boat trip from the Inland Sea and dive centre, through and under the cliffs out into the open sea to view where the Azure Window stood until recently.
Follow the coast down from here past Dwejra Bay, Fungus Rock, Wardija Punic Temple, SAN Raflu Lake to picturesque Xlendi Bay with a visit to Xlendi Tower and return to Xewkija and Victoria through the farms of Munxar.
There are just so many routes to safely ride cycles either off road or even on road, or you could just as well hire a Segway tour and pretty much do just the same mileage.
Of course if neither of these activities is for you, these cycle and Segway routes can just as easily be done by walking, there’s a bus route to many parts of Gozo to get you to the start point or from the finish point of your tour.
