There is another important Heritage Trail taking place this month, but this time in Gozo. The fascinating and ancient byways of the Gozo Citadel will be visited on a Heritage Trail consisting of a guided tour of the citadel, focusing on the fortification complex and World War II shelters. The tour will be led by Dr Stephen Spiteri and Mr Charles Bezzina. Traditional Maltese food will be served in a restaurant in the heart of the citadel to the accompaniment of live music. But if you want to participate in this one you'll have to get your skates on, since it is happening today at 6 p.m. The price for the trail is Lm5 (€11.65) and includes the guided tour, food and beverages. Booking from the Heritage Malta's Head Office in Valletta or from the Gozo Area Office. For more information, phone 2295 4000 or 2156 4188.
