説明

Become immersed in Maltese traditions by meeting locals that bake bread, weave carpets and extract salt from the sea using centuries-old techniques. A baker in the village of Zejtun will show you how Maltese sourdough bread is typically baked in a wood oven and offer fresh samples. In seaside Marsascala, villagers have extracted salt from the Mediterranean since Roman times. As you will discover by touring a collection of salt pans with the owner, the methods used today haven’t changed enormously. Rabat, on the western coast of Malta, also shares a connection to ancient Rome as it was once part of the Roman city of Melita. While meandering through its atmospheric streets, you will learn about the city’s history before stopping to snack on pastizzi, a flaky pastry that is traditionally filled with ricotta cheese or peas. Later, you will meet revered weaver Antoine Tan-Newl, one of the few on Malta that still uses traditional techniques.
