A unique opportunity to experience King Alfonso V’s pilgrimage that goes back to 1432. An exceptional hike that started at Castrum Maris in Birgu passed through Zejtun, Zurrieq and Siggiewi, and ended a day later at Our Lady Sactuary in Mellieha; the site linked to the establishment of Christianity in Malta.
The 50km or so hike had an overnight stay at the peaceful Tal-Virtu seminary in Rabat. Prosit XirCamini.
