In old R A F huts they sell allsorts of things I liked the glass blowers because you can watch them making things then go to the shop and buy the hand made goods I like Malta glass but you can buy knitwear or pottery or jewellery. The prices vary on what you want
Prickly Pear, it is called Bajtra tax-Xewk in Maltese, and the fruit is very popular in Malta. It is also used to make Bajtra Liqueur, which is one of the three in this pack here in the photo. I bought it in the airport duty free store.
This is a traditional family made liqueur from the village of Naxar. It is traditionally made with local herbs aroma and has golden colour and sweet honey taste which is smooth and tasty. You can get it also at the airport duty free store.
I tasted two very nice local wines, Lambrusco and Gellewza sparkling red wines made in Marsovin winery, I enjoyed them very much on a special dinner.You can get those wines in restaurants or buy them in some selected stores. They are available also on-line in the winery web site.
This shop is an international brand however i find good bargains from here. Prices and styles tend to vary also. In the beginning of the shop as soon as you enter is the smarter section, mostly evening wear and also more expensive and further in at the back more casual and cheaper
The main shopping centres in Malta are in the cities of Sliema and Valletta. Here you will find a variety of shops (clothes, shoes, jewellery, lingerie, books, pharmacy,bank, etc) from where to choose. Prices are quite moderate (unless you go to the designer shops obviously. But on the whole average prices.....and great when there are sales. But watch out....Maltese people love sales and bargains so if for example January sales are just starting you might find long queues and lots of people pushing and shoving! BE WARNED! :)
Capers are flower buds, and are harvested in April before they bloom. They are pickled in salt vinegar, and usually sold in a small jar. Capers are a distinctive feature of Maltese cuisine, and many housewives on the islands harvest and pickle their own.It's great with pasta and salad! The one I purchased came with sun-dried tomatoes, capers, olives, Maltese cheese, all in a small jar filled with olive oil. from Lm 1.50 and up
Baystreet boasts a broad mix of services, from retail and food and beverage to arts and culture, education and games. There are shops and services to suit all ages and all pockets. The place is specifically designed to make people feel it is open to all, and that they are comfortable to just come in and wander around and not necessarily shopping.
I had a hard time finding health products in Malta this time. Last visit I found a Boots pharmacy in Silema but didnt see anything like that while in Bugibba. I know there must be something like that there but the location eluded me. Instead I came upon Companion Mini Market on the Promenade. They have all the health/hygine products that you may have forgotten at home like hairspray, deoderant, femine products, and bandages. They are also a small grocery store so you can also find water, soft drinks, and foodstuff there as well. Depends on what you buy. I bought bandages for 0.79MTL and femine products ran from 0.87-1.09MTL
KTA is a small gift shop that carries most everything one would look for in souveniers: Postcards, shirts, Maltese craft products, as well as sunscreen and hats. I found they had pretty competative prices on postcards and a great selection. Yeah, Im a postcard addict. I find you can never have too many because they always seem to be at angles and from perspectives I cant seem to get myself. They also had a nice selection of Maltese glass. Prices vary depending on what you buy.
