Visit Malta - Qawra and Bugibba

Qawra Hotels, Restaurants and more

Qawra and Bugibba are two seaside towns located in the Northern part of the island of Malta and are just a stone’s throw away from one another. In fact, they are almost like one large town. Both are tourist areas which thrive during the summer months. At any time of day or night, there is a fantastic atmosphere with people walking up and down the seafront; swimming, dining or drinking. The many Qawra hotels make it one of the best locations to stay at whilst enjoying your holidays in Malta.

Qawra and Bugibba provide many advantages for different types of tourists. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday for instance, then this area is ideal because you can find absolutely everything within walking distance without the need of expensive taxis; be it the beach, restaurant, pub, casino, gaming lounge, cinema, ice-cream parlour, shops, bank… need we say more? Also, at the centre of the promenade is a recently upgraded piazza within which people gather, dine, drink and sometimes watch small concerts, which creates a real summery atmosphere at the heart of the town.

From the moment you step out of your hotel the promenade, piazza, main roads and side streets are lined with pubs and bars, ice-cream vendors, creperies, and restaurants. The Malta restaurants you find in the vicinity are also incredibly varied and there are several which satisfy any pocket. From oriental to Italian to British cuisine, you are sure to find a restaurant that suits you, and which is probably around 5 minutes away from your hotel!

Things to do in Malta

If on the other hand, you wish to see the entire island, this is still an extremely ideal place for you since it is one of the only places on the island which has a large bus terminal that links Qawra to all the major areas of the island! In fact, one of the closest towns to Qawra and Bugibba is Mellieha, which is home to Malta’s longest sandy beach.

At the various beaches, particularly that of Mellieha Bay, you can enjoy sun and sea by means of water sports. Water sports are extremely popular and can be enjoyed both by professionals as well as amateurs just looking for a good time. These include jet skiing, wind surfing, sailing, boat charter, paragliding and sausage rides!

Qawra and Bugibba are also home to many dive schools which provide services for both beginners as well as professionals. Such companies could take you diving right off the beaches there, or transport you to some of the most magnificent dive spots or wrecks, around the Islands. You could also take a boat ride from the shore that could take you to see the wonders of the Maltese coast, not to mention some of our loveliest bays, such as the crystal-blue so-called ‘Blue Lagoon’ in Comino.

Further south from the area, a few minutes by bus, one finds Malta’s largest and most popular aqua park. The park is suitable for all the family and you can splash around in the wave pool, take thrilling rides down the slides, or laze around in the lazy river. There’s also an animation team dedicated to providing full days of fun, packed with games, tropical dances, volley ball, salsa lessons, and aerobics. If that’s not enough, you could also swim with dolphins or watch seal and dolphin shows right next door!

Another advantage about the Qawra area is its vicinity to Cirkewwa, the point from which a ferry links Malta to its sister island, Gozo. Gozo is the second largest island in the archipelago. It is often called the “island where time stood still” since it is one of the few Mediterranean destinations which is largely unspoilt. Although Gozo forms part of Malta, it is rather different in both its traditions and culture. In fact, even the people are very different. As Joseph Bezzina put it, “the Gozitans are Maltese in as much as the Scottish are British, or the Sicilians are Italians”! Gozo is only some 20 minutes away from Qawra and surely merits a day-trip!

So whatever your objective there is plenty of activities and events going on which will definitely make you Malta holidays enjoyable.

Mrs. Claire Zammit Xuereb manages some of the leading Malta hotels. If you’re looking for an enjoyable Malta Holiday, then stay at one of the top seafront Qawra Hotels which offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. You can enjoy a relaxing break in our top range of Malta Accommodation whilst being close to a variety of restaurants, bars, gift shops and entertainment venues.

Steroid use Rocks Bodybuilding Anew

BODYBUILDING aficionados are faced with another controversy which may soon transform into another blocking force in their agenda which is to get their discipline into the elite list of legitimate sports.

In what appears to be an addition to what is already a long list of their problems, the Bodybuilding sector is linked into the use of dietary supplement products reported earlier as containing steroids.

In fact, the United States Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) recently made an announcement recalling 65 dietary supplement products. Specifically recalled are those that are being sold online by a bodybuilding website.

Who is liable?

Most of those that the US FDA is running after are marketed online by the Bodybuilding.com, a website entirely and comprehensively devoted for bodybuilding enthusiasts. According to the US government drug agency, those products sold online at the Bodybuilding.com website might be containing steroids.

Specifically under close watch are those which were manufactured by BrainQuicken LLC Research and Technologies or simply LLC. LLC is a subsidiary of Adaptagenix Applied Biosciences of Boise, Idaho. It is likewise considered as a top investment entity engaged in the development and distribution of bioactive and pharmaceutical-grade neural acceleration products.

Should the drugs sold online be found positive of steroid, the US FDA has yet to make any pronouncement on their next legal step. Moreover, there isn’t any word as to whose liability would it be. It could be the liability of the website that plays the crucial role of selling it via the net. There is however a higher probability that LLC would face prosecution --- or it could be both.

Steroid what?

Steroid and steroid use is a frequent headline grabber in the major dailies. Careers of not a few world-class athletes were cut short for steroid use. Most of those who got themselves a free publicity for the use of steroids were those who are considered as already popular.

Steroid is a regulated substance. It is described as performance-enhancing drug that is widely being taken by athletes all over the world, despite a ban on its use. Use of steroids is considered as cheating in many sports disciplines and sporting events.

Findings show that use of steroids and other medical or dietary products containing steroids causes acute liver ailments, male infertility and makes one vulnerable to heart attack or stroke, which could result in death.

Soon after the FDA announcement, the website (Bodybuilding.com) officials have already made a statement, apparently caving in to the drug agency’s request for a voluntary recall of sold dietary products online and pull-out of the advertisement and marketing. They however made it clear that those dietary products that they are selling online are legally classified under the federal laws as “dietary supplements”.

The FDA has yet to make a final statement as to whether the recalled drugs indeed contain steroids.

Bodybuilding dragged into it

As a result of this development, Bodybuilding has been dragged into the controversy and bodybuilding aficionados are just not too happy about it.

The controversy might just make it a lot harder for them to convince international sporting organizations into agreeing to their request to consider the muscle discipline as a legitimate sporting event. GP
