    📍 BUĠIBBA — THEN & NOW   I've known Buġibba for almost 50 years, so I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers how it used to be.  What do YOU remember about Buġibba, Qawra or St Paul's Bay?  Was there a favourite place, shop, restaurant, hotel or memory from years ago?  And did you spot the YouTuber sticker at Tanti Ice Cream near the end? 👀🍦Let me know in the comments — I'd really enjoy reading your memories!  Thanks for watching and walking with me. 🇲🇹❤

    I remember we always used to use Billy's Taxis going from the airport to the ferry and that was back in the 70s and 80s.

    A lovely reminder of the lovely walk from Qawra to St pauls bay, Seaview hotel was the 3rd hotel we stayed in from our trips to Buggibba.<br>We stayed there many times until they closed it down for the rebuild. The owner was lovely they sent us the old key for the room we always stayed in when we went there.<br>The receptionist was from Yorkshire like us, but moved to Malta as they loved it so much.<br>Look forward to your next trip.

    First time I walked up where Bognor / Burgers Ink is these days I saw a sign that said &apos;Pint and a Chip Sandwich, 1 Lira&apos; and I thought to myself, I like it here.

    IT&apos;S A BEAUTIFUL BUGIBBA PROMENADE 🌊 ⛱️ ☀️. <br>That was a lovely walk and good expose of Bugibba seafront Steve.. The square looks great. However, one of the mistakes they did is that the slats on the shade structures are not an angle to block the sun !! 🤔. Also, no building should be that high to put the beach in the shade for most of the day 🫨 !! <br>Don&apos;t really like what they&apos;ve done inland - shame, it&apos;s a complete concrete jungle 🏢🏢. <br>THANKS Steve for your time filming and sharing🙏 👏. <br>Cheers 👍🇲🇹❤️🇪🇺

    Great video. I have done this many times. How about the Silema to &nbsp;Spinola Bay walk for another one.

    My ex husbands favourite island. His dad was RAF and based in Balzan. We came on holiday in Malta from 1989 up to Jan 2000. New Year and we stayed in Bugiba the last time. Nice and warm in January. I think I put up footage of that trip on my channel. I like the new square and enjoyed all of your updates. I like comparing the then and now.
