4. 4 days at 3,000km with less than 10cent per km – € 300 (4 days all inclusive – See here )

And yes, dear friends, we went to Malta. You and me. You and I. Please, I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. It makes 1000 €. You can send them to the mailbox IT67298 CLGGGSSS.

I had never been there before even though I am Sicilian and in the 18 years that I lived in Sicilian land it would have been enough for me to take a motorboat to get to that rock 30km long and 15 wide.

At first I was a little perplexed (yes, before leaving) and, when the trivago people called me politely and then forced me to go to that place, I was not enthusiastic.

Because in Malta go the freckled / pimply teenagers and those a little older than 18/25 years a little misfit who still hang out late in those environments; all people who

for the first time they move away from Mom and Dad,
after the disco, they throw up on the windshields of parked cars,
in the hotel they remove the safety devices of the fire extinguishers, which according to Wikipedia are mobile devices intended for extinguishing fires by autonomous emission of suitable products , but which they use to make wars inside the hotel corridors,
then they fall asleep standing in the showers, full of chemical powders and confetti.
De gustobus non est disputandum .

This was what I thought and, of course, to add PC (politically correct), I must say that it is not really that bad, there are those who like those things and yes, after all, holidays can be lived in a different way . But, what can you do, I’m always superficial.
In the end, however, I also went there and I also understood that Malta is an earthly paradise that ended up by chance in the middle of the Mediterranean and is poetry ; just know where to go and what to do … but let’s go in order.

Malta is a tiny piece of land that offers more than 5000 years of history that can be experienced with cooking, museums, archaeological sites and the sympathy of the people. Yes, the nice thing is that everyone is almost always very nice and helpful. They are half Greeks, Arabs, Sicilians, English, etc. etc. and of all these seem to have taken the best things. To see this strange race of men you must go to Malta because there are just over 400 thousand real Maltese and therefore the chances of seeing someone free in the rest of the world is very low.

Maltese, which is spoken by the Maltese, is the official language of Malta as well as a very particular idiom: it is practically an Arabic dialect with Latin, Sicilian influences and, why not, let’s also put on English.

On the radio you can hear سفاسفصا pastizzi! ديجبه أشجص quite ايجد أيجي very good .

The Maltese almost all speak Italian and English fairly well. They speak a million languages.

The other strange thing but that, when you think about it, is not so strange is that it is a Republic. It is a state in all respects, free and managed in full democracy by citizens. It is almost like Italy.

In the video I showed (in part) the most interesting things and therefore I’m not here to write yet. If you have been to Malta or you have read Malta correctly or you have a girlfriend from Malta and in the video you think something is missing, know that in ten minutes it is impossible to show everything; he would become one of the usual strapallose guides with the classic static images that take up the things seen and reviewed; instead it is an absolute cool.

And, after this arrogant premise, know that the island is small; in half an hour by car with the wrong guide, if you know the roads, you can cross it from tip to tip. As a result, you can see almost everything in a long weekend , like I did.

1. If you are a lover of locals and girls who have forgotten to dress, you can go to St. Julian , a former fishing village that fate wanted to become a playground for high school graduates. All this a few kilometers from Valletta.

2. If you love cliffs , beaches, trekking and these things here, then the island is fine for you too. There are places like Blue Grotto , Dingli Cliffs , the island of Comino and much more that does for strange ones like you.

3. If you love history, culture, art and architecture , good, good, good. Compliments. You are the people who run our society and, yes, Malta is fine for you too. For the pallid ones like you there is Mdina , which is a very beautiful country, and also Rabat , or Valletta , the capital which is chock full of these things, and Vittoriosa . Then there are many things scattered around the island such as Ħaġar Qim or Mnajdra (which, however cultured you may never be able to pronounce) and the National Museum of Archeology that I have not seen but if it is national it must be important.

4. If you love snow, skis, polar bears and Norwegian girls , even if there are many Norwegians who come here on vacation, I’m sorry, but you’ve got the wrong place. After all, we are talking about Malta, what did you expect?

1. Driving in Malta is a mess. And not because the cars build them upside down and because they consequently drive on the wrong side of the road but because there are no driving directions. And, when they are there, they are not clear or they were planted after the crossings.

2. In Malta there are many dangerous snakes and beasts of all kinds. It is not true, on the other hand there are goats that are called Maltese, but I don’t think they are only in Malta, but, if you want to get a culture on goats, http://www.agraria.org/caprini/maltese.htm

I wanted to clarify that those of trivago asked me kindly to interact more with the locals because in Barcelona only my ugly face was visible.

For the record I have:

1. had an exchange of ideas with kids on the first evening;
2. talked to a valet and then in underwear with a gentleman;
3. played with Maltese football boys and surely one of them was a son of mine (see next point);
4. I married.

As you may have already understood, I also won the second challenge; I know you were cheering for me, I am very grateful to you and your support was fundamental.

I had € 300 for four days and three nights and the more envious would say “oh well but in Malta, that is, it goes, € 300, in the sense, that is a lot of money, even I would have succeeded. O Giggi, it is not true, we ‘nchia in Malta, I am quite a sect. ”

Well yes, we can agree with Sole and Giggi that € 300 is more than enough to get around Malta, in fact the island is quite cheap but for trivago’s whims I had to:

1. stay for 3 nights in a luxury 4 * hotel ;
2. pay the return flight ;3.
3. turn the whole island by car ;
4. (without this) exploring the depths of the seas ;5.
5. ingest restaurant food 3 times ;6.
6. spend the best 4 days of my life .

So: we (I) have said several times that Malta is a rather low cost destination, life is good and prices are reasonable almost everywhere, but for those who are looking for me like me to better optimize costs, here are some pearls.

1.As in Barcelona, ​​in Malta it is possible to buy a card: the Malta Pass ,                  which allows you to visit museums, attractions and many other things            at prices ranging from € 25 for a day or € 50 for three days. You can find            all the info here .
2.To find out more about museum prices , timetables etc. etc., this is the              site .
3.To save on the car it is good that the driver is over 25 years old , while              to save on petrol there would be a thousand things to say; for now just              do not go too fast and avoid revving the engine (but do I need to say                  these things?).
4.The restaurants all have excellent prices but, if you really don’t have                  money, they sell pastizzi , you saw them in the video; they are good,                  cheap and sated.
