We turned right out of Victoria bus station, going straight on at the cossroads and then headed left, beneath the walls of the Citadel in the direction of Ghasri. We crossed the Zebbug road along a narrow road, turning right just before we got to Ghasri. Turning left into a wider road, we then walked through the attractive village of Zebbug, stopping to admire the church. We then followed a winding, rough road downhill that became a rough track, eventually bearing slightly left to bring us out at the valley of Wied Il-Ghasri. We skirted this valley and walked along a track that took us high above the cliffs. When we reached Wied Il-Mielah we took a short diversion to the right to photograph the spetacular sea arch; although eroded naturally, it looks for all the world like some huge ancient monument. We then returned to the path that led along the Wied Il-Mielah, now dry after weeks of little rain, eventually taking a right fork that brought us out at the delightful village of Gharb, where we sat a while to admire the attractive main square. We pomised we would return one day soon to visit the Folk Museum. From there, we rejoined the main road back to Victoria, stopping several times on the way to admire the views, particularly of the Ta Pinu church to our left.
