Our training session takes place in the newly revamped Pjazza San Guzepp (Qala square), one of the main touristic hubs on the island. As soon as everyone is confident with their segway, we head up the hill to Triq il-Mithna, and are welcomed by the mouth watering smell of an old wood stove bakery, one of the last remaining on the island. Here we can stop to buy some freshly baked traditional “Qaghaq” (sweet sesame rings).
This route will take us out of the urban area and into a beautiful local farming zone called Ta’ Tocc. This relatively unexplored part of the island, situated on its very eastern tip, enjoys some of the most spectacular views of both the North coast and the Gozo channel, and on a clear day it is not unusual to see the island of Sicily on the horizon!
Pjazza San Kurraw is our next pit stop before proceeding down the road leading to Hondoq ir-Rummien Bay. The crystalline water, identical to the Blue lagoon of nearby Comino, makes Hondoq Bay very popular amongst the locals especially in summer-time.
Heading back up, and before re-entering Qala Square, we take a detour to Triq il-Wardija, and the island of Comino is within touching distance from here. Further down, Triq ic-Cawl is arguably one of the most breathtaking streets in Gozo.
