The colder months are behind us, the countryside is blooming and the sun is shining. The Maltese don’t much like the cold and you can tell from the increasing number of happy faces in spring. Everyone is looking forward to the brighter, sunnier, warmer days on the horizon.

The weather during spring in Malta is perfect for outdoor sports and activities in nature. If you like hiking, this is the best time to head outdoors and plan a trekking adventure. In this issue of Oh My Malta, we’ve got you covered with some of the most adventurous hiking trails that will take you through breathtaking spring scenery.

Flick through the pages and you’ll see why this is the perfect month for a road trip to Malta’s sister island, Gozo. The island awakens to rolling hills of burgundy and gold, as patches of clover and haystacks adorn the countryside.

If you’re a foodie, this is your ideal destination. The island is jam-packed full of seaside eateries that are just waiting to be explored, so we’ve listed a few of our favourite spots, which you definitely shouldn’t miss.

With Easter coming up next month, we’ve delved into the origin of our very own traditional sweet; Kwarezimal, a traditional Lenten biscuit eaten across the islands. And yes, we’re spoiling you by giving out its recipe to recreate this sweet taste of Malta in the comfort of your own home.

We couldn’t be happier to welcome you!
