Wied Babu | S4 EP: 3, part 2 | The Local Traveller with Clare Agius | Malta

Welcome to another breathtaking adventure as Clare explores the beautiful Wied Babu, where she meets Alex Camilleri.

Wied Babu, often referred to as "ħondoq" in Maltese, is a hidden gem with its deep valley and steep sides. It stands as one of the most profound valleys on the Maltese islands, and the story of its unique formation is truly captivating.

As we explore this natural wonder, you'll discover that the remarkable shape of Wied Babu is intricately connected to the type of rocks found in the area. The lower coralline limestone, sculpted over centuries by the persistent flow of spring water, has created a stunning landscape with rocks eroded in diverse and intriguing ways.

Join us as we learn about the fascinating geological history of Wied Babu and its rich flora, including the renowned national plant, Widnet il-Baħar. Alex Camilleri provides us with valuable insights and shares his deep knowledge of this remarkable location.
