This serpentine route starts in Marsalforn valley. It winds up through agricultural land up to the Xagħra plateau. This village is like a treasure chest to explore. Hiking the full Ramla Walk involves taking the downhill path that brings you to Ramla Bay.
Tackle this coastal walk straight from Mġarr harbour. This hiking route winds around Fort Chambrai and then zigzags along the coast to Mġarr ix-Xini.
