Malta Travel Podcast with Nadia Farrugia

About Malta Travel Podcast with Nadia Farrugia

This podcast is about living in Malta slowly enough to notice how the island works: the rocky terraces, the winter rains on the coast, the ferries that tie the three inhabited islands together. Travelling here means adjusting to a small archipelago where history is visible in walls and fortified harbours rather than in museums alone. She covers places beyond the main harbours: Valletta's grid of streets, the walled city of Mdina, Marsaxlokk's fishing boats on the south-east coast, and the cliffs at Dingli. Each place is treated as somewhere to return to, not just a stop on a tour. The show follows a longer rhythm: winter rains on the eastern coast, summer heat on the stone, ferry crossings that change with the season. Nadia returns to the same bays and villages, letting each visit add a layer. Knowing a place properly in Malta means learning its weather, its harbours, and the routes between them. Nadia Farrugia lives in Malta and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Nadia is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
