Traditional fishing boats at Xlendi bay

A picturesque scene at Xlendi Bay featuring an array of traditional Maltese fishing boats, known as luzzijiet, resting on the shore. Their vibrant colours contrast beautifully against the sunlit façades of the rustic buildings, including a boathouse with a green door in the centre. The warm yellow tones of the architecture and the rocky cliffs in the background add to the bay’s timeless charm. A lone cat sits in the foreground, basking in the peaceful coastal atmosphere. This image captures the essence of Gozo’s rich fishing heritage and the tranquillity of Xlendi’s small harbour.
