 Colourful glass at Ta Qali by mazzap
Both can be found at the craft village of Ta Qali. All the workshops are housed in disused aircraft hangars and former military premises. Craftsmen and women can be seen busy at work throughout the many 'huts'. The glassblowers are always fascinating to watch, and the air-conditioned factories are now much cooler than I recall them being years ago!
As well as a huge range of traditional and contemporary glassware, many types of craftware can be seen being made and sold here, including lace, pottery, silver filligree jewellery, ironwork, woodwork and leatherwork. Well worth a visit!
All at reasonable prices, but look out for bargain 'seconds' in the glassware - some products are greatly reduced in price for very minor blemishes. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Ta Qali near MdinaDirections: Can be reached by bus and a short walk, incorporate with a visit to Mdina!

The capital's open-air markets is located at the foothill of the Citadel, not far from the Central Bus Station at Victoria (also known as Rabat) in Gozo Island. Many of the city's shops are located around the area which is also said to be the main shopping district of the city. Wide range of items are on sale at the open-air markets such as small and cheap souvenirs, clothings and textiles, stationery, handbags and travelling bags, belts, toys, CDs and DVDs etc.
Small souvenirs from Gozo Island in particular and Malta in general such as key-chains, postcards, t-shirts, caps refrigerator's magnets etc.
Prices are very competitive at the open-air markets! Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Victoria, Gozo Island.Directions: Located at the foothill of the Citadel, not far from the Central Bus Station in Gozo Island.

 Figolli by Xemx
Don't be tempted to buy them from the first place you come across because you will be greatly disappointed. I usually make my own, but if I were to buy them I would go for the ones from Cafe Cordina (244 Republic Street, Valletta), Santa Lucia Confectionery (Old Railway Track, Attard) and Tivoli Confectionery (Manwel Magri Street, Hamrun).
Figolli are almond pastries cut out to represent symbolic figures. The traditional shapes are men, women, fish and baskets. They are decorated with glace and royal icing and an Easter egg wrapped in colourful foil to finish off the decoration.
EUR 6 to 8 Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

But more than anything, it is an excuse to stop off at a café and people gaze. Shopping is a cultural window on the Islands too.
You’ll find plenty of tempting must-buys to take home. For a taste of the Mediterranean, choose among the many local deli treats from olives and sun-dried tomatoes to fine wines. If you want something to appreciate for longer, try the intricate, filigree silverware or a work from one of the Islands’ renowned artists. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
