During the Ramla Country walk, we discover several beautiful historical sites as well as fertile valleys which make the Ramla walk unique. The Ramla Country Walk both starts and ends in Nadur. Heading to Wied Bingemma, we find a valley where you can watch the local farmers using traditional farming methods. As we keep walking, we arrive in an area called Ta’ Venuta where we enjoy spectacular valley views. It was here that the French troops landed in Gozo back in 1798.

Relish the breathtaking views of bays, cliffs, and vast horizons as well as the idyllic Gozo channel including the islands of Comino and Gozo. Natural habitats, geological formations and spectacular shades of marine-blues and leafy greens serve as a middle space where land and sea interact; at times in serene harmony and at times in violent conflict. The walk takes us through parcels of farmland, wooded area, garigue and beaches. The path also brings forward remnants and reminders of Malta’s military legacy and its bitter struggle for survival as several fortified defensive structures are encountered enroute.
