Il-Maqluba Maltese Legend | S6 EP: 8, part 1 | The Local Traveller with Clare Agius | Malta

Step away from Malta’s busy town centres and join Clare in the peaceful countryside of Qrendi, just a short walk from Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra. Surrounded by almond trees and the iconic Sandarac Gum Tree, she meets author Rita Saliba to share the legend of il-Maqluba with a group of children. Together, they explore how Maltese legends are passed down through generations, then walk to the dramatic Maqluba sinkhole to see the place that inspired tales of storms, punishment and giants. A gentle mix of nature, folklore and childhood wonder in one magical spot. --- Find out more about The Local Traveller on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thelocaltravellermalta Instagram: www.instagram.com/thelocaltraveller_malta ---- The Local Traveller follows Clare Agius as she explores Malta and Gozo in search for their many hidden gems.
