Now is the best time of the year for a stroll along the Sliema front, but the sun is gone. The only part of the front where one can enjoy the sun is from the side entrance of the Carmelite church to the Tower. From there onwards it is all in the shade except for Għar id-Dud.
This is all due to the high-rise buildings that replaced the quaint houses which have cast a shadow over the pleasant walk from one point to the other.
