Checking the view from Il-Fawwara, near Dingli cliffs

Dingli cliffs was the next viewpoint on our sightseeing tour with Aida and Frippe. Just on the side of Dingli cliffs is Il-Fawwara, a place a like a lot. It’s peace and quiet there and amazing views over cliffs and the sea. This is a good spot to watch the sunset from.

Today I noticed something I haven’t seen on my previous visits to Il-Fawwara: the word NAZAE written in stones in a short piece of stone wall. I’ve googled it, but can not find any explanations.

Another thing I noticed for the first time today is that you can see the white tent protecting the megalithic temple Ħaġar Qim from here.

Blue Grotto

In the afternoon we took 2 of our collegues from Sweden (Aida and Frippe) for a sightseeing tour to the south side of the island. First we went to Blue Grotto and took some photos from the viewpoint just opposite the cave. Between Blue Grotto and Filfla island they are drilling for oil.
