We drove up the steep hill towards the centre of Mellieha. Just after the second hairpin bend we got a sight of Our Lady of Victory church.
Even when we parked we still had three steep flights of steps to climb.
Just below the church we found this lovely quiet courtyard .
The framed views of Mellieha Bay and the lower part of the town were wonderful .
The church fronts a large square where local farmers sell their produce from lorries.
The road from the square leads through the town in a route which is parallel to the main street.
There are steep stepped alleys joining these roads.
Trees seems to scrabble to survive in odd corners. On our route we saw modern buildings being shoehorned into the spaces between the older ones.
Later in the day we drove to the far end of the Marfa Ridge peninsula to enjoy the views.
