Let’s explore more “Cliffs of Malta” today ~ walk with me along the coast at Għar Lapsi ~ MALTA 🇲🇹
It is a not so well known area… yet.
We will see some stunning views of the cliffs, a dive site and rock beach… and even some sculptures on this beautiful sunny day on the ISLAND OF MALTA in March 2020.

With this post I’m joining in at the #Wednesday Walk #challenge. That is hosted by @tattoodjay every week on Wednesday.

Location of the walk along the cliffs at Għar Lapsi on the #island we find on the following screenshots of Google Maps with the yellow arrow or star :

Zooming in we see:

More information about Għar Lapsi you find here: Visit Malta - Għar Lapsi!

We start at Ħad-Dingli as we drive past it from our home in Rabat. Yes, I lived a while there… 😋
The area is better known as the DINGLI CLIFFS. We jump out of the car to take in the views first before we drive further. 😊
Everybody goes to the #dinglicliffs, but today I want to focus on a hidden gem… a little bit further where we will walk around.

hubby took there the first photo 👆🏻 of me.
It was a very windy day that early in march as you can see in that photo. 🌬️🌊
I was capturing the next photos. Such beautiful #views along this stretch of #coast on MALTA. It is just past the famous cliffs site.

The little island you see in the misty distance is FILFA you will see it better when we start our walk at bit further.
IMG_3387.jpeg

I like the green areas (shrubs) on this side as Malta 🇲🇹 is very dry and barren.
IMG_3388.jpeg

I even found a few flowers 🌺 of course I had to capture them.

We drive to our next spot where we park and we will walk along the coast line. We reached Għar Lapsi.
There is a walking path and we follow it.

Come let’s check it out 😊
Looking up we see these buildings and huts. Typical #architecture of Malta 🇲🇹

Zooming out a bit. If you see the orange van, that is the road leading down to Għar Lapsi.
IMG_3392.jpeg

The cliffs are very rugged here. The blue of the sea 🌊 and sky makes them stand out a lot. 🥰
IMG_3394.jpeg

This time we see the little island of Filfa better.
IMG_3395.jpeg

We walk back to Għar Lapsi and see below us the #diving area. 🤿
IMG_3396.jpeg

You can even swim there… I think it is still too cold to go in as nobody was there swimming 🏊🏻‍♀️ or diving 🤿
IMG_3397.jpeg

Looking to the left we see a small #restaurant. Sadly there was no space for us at lunch, other wise we would had some freshly caught fish 🐟 we will walk further along the coast you see in the distance 😁
IMG_3398.jpeg

On a look out area we find these cool looking sculptures. There are rather a lot of obstacles around them, so it is difficult to capture them well. Standing on the opposite side the sun ☀️ was in the wrong spot. Let me still show you them. 😎

Peeking through at the sea 🌊
IMG_3401.jpeg

Water tanks behind them hahaha
IMG_3403.jpeg

They do look nice and the dark blue of the #Mediterranean Sea 🌊 makes them pop!
IMG_3404.jpeg

We walk past the restaurant and enter a path along the coast now, we walk for a while… the wind with the sun is making it a nice day out. Not too warm in the sun or too cold.
After a while we take in the views of the rugged cliffs. Soooo beautiful 🤩 don’t you think?
IMG_3406.jpeg

We hear the waves 🌊 crash against them.
IMG_3407.jpeg

One of my favourite photos of today 🥰 The rocks are large believe me. You can see some buildings on top of the cliffs. For comparison…
IMG_3409.jpeg

We walk down some steps and reach the sea… standing on large rocks we look at the cliffs from below.
IMG_3410.jpeg

We look around us 🤩 here there are some more diving areas.
IMG_3412.jpeg

Something I haven’t been able to explain… the next photo:
IMG_3413.jpeg
It looks like we have wings 🪽 and we could fly away any moment now hahaha 🤣 wouldn’t that be great…?

The views along the cliffs, the walking path is up there right on the edge…
IMG_3414.jpeg

Shall we continue further along it? 😊 ok… let’s do that.
IMG_3415.jpeg

We walk back up. Climbing the rocks 🪨 we came down over.
IMG_3416.jpeg

Views to the right. The sun is really strong now.
IMG_3420.jpeg

Filfa island is still with us.
IMG_3421.jpeg

Back on the path along the coast and cliffs 🥰 we walk for a while longer.
IMG_3422.jpeg

Until our tummy’s start to rumble and we decide to go back to the car 🚗
To head into a town for some food. We say bye bye 👋🏻 until our next walk together.
