Like most islands, the Maltese archipelago has been exposed to all kinds of colonization and domination. The fate of Malta and Gozo has of course been linked, but some events have affected one island more than the other. Such as the year 1551 with the attack on Gozo by the Turks. The island was completely looted and most of the inhabitants enslaved. After a long period of repopulation, they were then invaded by the French, whom the Gozitans decide to block with a seat. They then became a micro state nation for nearly two years with a provisional government. Lacking supplies, they called for help from the English, who then took on the power in 1800. From this moment, the island of Gozo remained along sidelined by the British administration, especially for major advances such as electricity. As a result of riots and many obstacles, Gozo's political autonomy was restored in 1961. Gozo and its inhabitants had their own personality and identity, and different lifestyles, accents and dialects. Gozo then became a peaceful island, spared by mass tourism, and knows no unemployment or insecurity.
All the roads of Gozo lead to Victoria, capital of the island, also known as Rabat, which remains a small town of 6000 inhabitants. This is where exploration of the island started.
We were lucky enough to witness a part of the Gozo carnival that takes place in February, although it was apparently ruined by the bad weather half of the week. The locals hold very much this carnival at heart, and it is an event that no one there misses.
The Roman Catholic religion has left an huge mark on the island. Today, the overwhelming majority of people on the island of Gozo are Catholic and the numbers of
churches and cathedrals is a good witness of it. In the summer, every parish of
Gozo take turns celebrating the Festa, with street parties, parades of
fanfares and traditions such as the statue worn.
We came across the only winter of the island, so we had more than average weather, and an incredible general calm that sometimes surprised us a lot. I think the locals really hate bad weather, because there was never anyone in the streets before a heavy rain, and it became alive again at the first ray of sunshine.
Here, the easiest way of transportation is the bus. The network is very well thought, and they are extremely punctual. If you want to use this solution, you just have to get organized and have the time because in winter most buses run once an hour outside of Victoria.
In recent days, the sun has returned and turned Gozo and its exploration into a paradise. In summer, the island is much more alive, with almost perfect weather, and becomes a paradise for all marine sports, and for lovers of nature, tranquility and unusual places.
This island is really beautiful, we had a very nice surprise. It is atypical, relaxing and you will be very welcome. This special atmosphere will remain in your memory.
We hope you enjoyed this video. Do not forget to share it so that we can explore this world, all together.

Thank you for your kind words!
Une vidéo géniale !! Le son est propre, l'image géniale. Bref je ne sais pas quoi dire. Continuez, j'aimerais vraiment voir BEAUCOUP plus de contenu comme le votre sur Dtube. C'est vers quoi j'espère que va tendre la communauté vidéaste sur steemit
Ah merci ça nous fait vraiment plaisir <3 surtout venant de toi ;-)
C'est sur que ça serrait cool de voir plus de ce genre de vidéos mais je ne suis pas sur que la façon dont marche steem (ou la consommation de vidéo en général) tende vers ce genre de contenu...
Très cordialement
Les Pitchous !!
Je pense que pour la commu US et anglophone il est en effet trop tard pour changer du tout au tout le contenu produit.
Par contre en france, il y a moyen de faire quelque chose....
Bonjour, l'endroit parfait pour vivre paisiblement mais ce ne sera pas demain que j'oserais laisser mes clés de voiture sur le contact :D Superbe vidéo.
Merci beaucoup!!
Je pense qu'une des raisons pour l'histoire des clefs est qu'il n'y a qu'un seul moyen de partir de l'île est c'est un baeau ou l'on demande probablement les papiers du véhicule... Mais quand même c'est incroyable elle ont tout l'air d'être en libre service
A bientôt!

Salut, super vidéo ! Les plans de caméra sont géniaux et le mixage du son est parfait avec les commentaires audio par-dessus, hâte de voir la prochaine destination ;)
Est ce que ça serait possible que j'utilise quelques parties de votre vidéo dans mon Zap de ce week-end, en ajoutant votre nom et lien de chaîne dans la vidéo et la description??
Oui avec plaisir! Je suis content que tu ai aimé la vidéo!
On ira voir le zap ;-)
Génial merci ! Je vous tiens au courant :)
Une vidéo extra ! En tout cas, ça a l'air d'être une destination parfaite avec un mix entre cultures, plages, paysages, beau temps et en plus pas de tourisme de masse, manquerait plus que vous ayez eu de bon plats ! :D
Merci beaucoup, on s'y est régalé! Et en effet on a déguster des super plats... Étonnamment, la spécialité n'est pas le poisson mais plutôt le lapin! Excellent!
A bientôt!
