Clay Cliffs 🥾🥾—> Pullicino's Cove

before flying back home 🥲 Nicole joined me for a last wild hike on Malta’s Northern Coast from the Clay ridges to Pullicino’s Cove — or at least that direction 😂

We started at Baia dell’Occhio di Mela - one of the most beautiful spots in Malta 🩵 - and continued to the clay cliffs.
From the cliffs, we followed the dusty coastal path, a trail that isn’t polished or signposted in a grand way 🤪🥲… it’s the kind of route you “feel & trust” rather than follow 🤯…well…..
At times the path narrowed along steep drops 🥵 and I was DAMN (!!) happy that today there was no wind - I am not sure I would have walked some of those paths with wind 😓🫣.
At others, it opened into wide, rolling plateaus overlooking hidden coves and BEAUTIFUL landscapes. Malta has this way of surprising you. It looks so tiny on a map, but walking it feels expansive 💚

After quite a steady stretch of hiking, and realizing how steep, slippery and loose the descent to Pullicino's Cove would be 😱 we decided to stay on the top and just enjoy the view before making our way back and finishing the day with (finally!! 😅😬) a dip in the sea 👙🌊

Today’s hike with all the adrenaline, colors, silence and beauty from A to Z, will stay with me for sure, and honestly? That’s the Malta🇲🇹 I’ll remember most I think 💚🤩Read more
