Hiking the Cliffs of Marfa Ridge and Golden Bay

We explored the northeastern-most portion of Malta today by hiking the Marfa Ridge, then crossed over to the northwestern side of the island for more hiking along Golden Bay. Click here for photos. The weather was windy but mild and the views stunning. 

Along the way, we met a couple who races homing pigeons as a hobby. They had their birds out for some heavy-wind practice. 

We also stopped by the Red Tower, built in 1649 to guard the straits between Malta and Gozo, the island you see in the distance in many of the photos we took. The tower played a role in both world wars and is currently undergoing some restoration.
