THE LOCATIONS
The Location: Ħamrun
Ħamrun is one of Malta’s most lived-in towns: central, always in motion, and stitched into the island’s daily rhythm. A diorama of people passing through on errands, meeting for a coffee, or turning down a side street where the noise softens into ordinary life. There’s a wonderfully unpolished charm to Ħamrun. It isn’t trying to be a postcard; it’s more real than that, with balconies and facades catching the sun, corner groceries, barbers, parish notices, and the gentle chaos of a place that belongs to its residents. You’ll feel the mixture of old and new everywhere: traditional streetscapes alongside the quick pulse of modern Malta.
The Location: Xaghra
Xaghra is a quiet town in Gozo with deep roots and an invite to slow down, breathe out, and explore. Apart from its world-famous heritage sites, it also boasts a more muted allure with its washed limestone facades, hidden alleyways, and the local folk that are the intrinsic heart of the land. Stitched between rolling green fields and the stunning blue sea, it’s a place to take in some of the island’s most loved spots and come away calm and inspired.
MEET LISA GWEN
Hungry for beauty and possessing a quasi insufferable sense of whimsy, Lisa Gwen is an independent writer and curator, working in the design & architecture industry. She is a storyteller, using both words and visuals to share her many glimmers.
