The Department of Information has recently shared a nostalgic photograph offering a window into a simpler, sun-soaked past along Gozo’s Xlendi shoreline.

In the timeless image, a young girl strolls leisurely, enjoying an apple, while others unwind nearby under the summer sun. Behind them, the iconic cliffside path rises, framing the scene in familiar natural beauty.

This evocative snapshot captures more than just a summer’s day; it reflects the enduring charm of coastal life in Gozo. The photo reminds us of moments filled with quiet joy, community, and the rhythm of island life that remains deeply rooted in Maltese memory.

Such archival images continue to resonate with both locals and visitors, reconnecting generations to landscapes and traditions that have stood the test of time. In a fast-changing world, these glimpses of the past offer a sense of continuity and belonging.
