The chapel is small and so beautiful. For anyone who is interested on Sundays a mass is celebrated at 9am.

Good vlog of a very nice area 🚶 🎥. Been a few times to that chapel & cave when little with lovely aunt Maree (RIP) of Mosta. Can't believe how vegetation has gone wild in that valley 🎄 🌿. FYI :Steve, that 'purple flower weed' you pointed out in the beginning is "Fidloqqom" -their 'flower tea' & honey is very good for sore throat!!. Suggestion : You should get a dog like beautiful Molly 🐶? Thanks for sharing Stephen ☺. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 ©.

There's a punic tomb a few yards away from the Speranza Chapel very close to where you stopped. I remember crawling into it a few times when Dad took us there for a Sunday walk. Now it must be hidden by vegetation. I couldn't spot it on your video! I remember the valley before all those pine trees were planted. The waterway was a more accessible and adventurous place for us. The vegetation has exploded over the past few years but I still enjoy a walk mostly in summer.....less slippery!

In summer when vegetation dries up it is easier to spot. It's in the vertical side of the valley close to ground level.

The chapel is another unknown treasure to be visited. Those plants with the big leaves at about 4.30 are the Castor Oil plant. We grow them here in our garden in Bulgarià, but only as annuals. The seeds are extremely poisonous and can be fatal. I believe they contain Ricin. 🥵. Beautiful walk👍

@@EnglishmaninMalta Hi Steve. Apparently quite a few years ago someone in Malta grew many of these plants because they attract a certain worm or insect that produces silk. And his intention was to produce vast amounts of the silk, but obviously it wasn't successful. In Malta they appear almost to grow into trees. But here they die off in winter. Saw many of these plants walking to Bidjnia. Really enjoyed that video.👍😄.
