Wied il-Ghasel, which literally means "Valley of Honey", is not only historic but a beautiful place for a leisure walk in Mosta.

Although the regular paths which lead down into the valley near the bridge, opposite the "high wall", are not too complicated, it would be convenient if steps were built for those who are not able to climb. Other than that, the paths for the walks in the valley are relatively comfortable.

The ambience there naturally leads one into a wild imagination of how the valley was formed on that fated day and how the legendary St Paul the Hermit found himself a shelter in that little cave which is now a chapel.

I particularly love the smell of the herbs and flora during my walks in the valley. The rock formations are very pretty and overall, it is a charming place for photos.

If you are planning a mini adventure, Wied il-Ghasel would be an interesting choice. Its location is just a stone's throw away from the Mosta town centre where one can settle for a coffee afterwards and choose to continue to explore the majestic Rotunda, the Speranza Church and other little chapels or visit the morning flea market which is held on Mondays. Other shopping opportunities ranging from pet shops to jewellers' shops can be found in its centre. Strolling around the older part of Mosta is equally interesting as it gives an opportunity to see some gorgeous old buildings and balconies.

Public transportation is aplenty as there are many public buses coming from various places to Mosta before heading to Valletta or vice versa. To top it off, Mosta is renowned for its yearly massive feast celebration of its patron saint, the Assumption of Mary on August 15. Mosta is an interesting town, indeed.
