Maltese are Europeans who feel English, behave like Italians, and speak Arabic. The phrase was told to me by a friend who already coveted the island before us and we are going to try to verify it.

The charm of the streets and their slow pace, the familiarity with which the Maltese treat each other and their culture, will captivate you from day one.
The country has a population of more than 500,000 inhabitants spread over 316 square kilometers, which makes Malta the second country with the highest population density in the European Union, after the Vatican. Both countries are almost tied in terms of faith, because this is a very Catholic country.
The Maltese archipelago has a total of 359 churches, almost one for each day of the year. In addition, in almost every corner of the old town of Valletta, virgins and saints reside, reflecting the religiosity of its population, one of the most Catholic in the world. The divorce was not legalized until 2011.
Another peculiar aspect of the Maltese is their language. Although English is the official language and two-thirds of the population understand Italian, what you will hear on the streets is Maltese, a mixture of Arabic with Italian, English and even Spanish. The same goes for the island's gastronomy, which blends Italian, Arabic and British cuisines, giving rise to flavors unique in the world.
Maltese, the official language along with English on the islands, has two very special characteristics: it is the only language in the European Union that comes from Arabic and it is also the only Semitic language that uses the Latin alphabet.
Filled with meat, spinach, ricotta cheese or pea puree, the delicious pastizzi, puff pastry cakes that present all kinds of flavors. You should not pass through Malta without visiting one of its traditional pastizzerias, to discover these little queens of the island's local gastronomy.
