Stick with these forums, best travel guide around, warts and all. you can,t buy that.

Hello gillymiff, I agree with vee dee about this site being the best, if you know what to ask about. I find that of the many guides that I have used over the years the best one is the, Cadogan Guide to Malta/Gozo & Comino by Simon Gaul. Try your local Library to see what they have before you buy one.
You could also take a look at this site,

I agree, this site is a mine of very useful info, unfortunately I can't take it with me on holiday!

Will check out that book, thanks Dave.
I already have the maltavista site bookmarked

But you can print off or write down any useful snippets.

I will come with you Gilly and be your personal guide

I've always used the Rough Guide's. They are the best in my opinion for real travellers:

the Time Out one is good

I'm with Dave on this deffinitely the Cadogan Guide book, has our years now and it still tells me stuff I didn't know.

hi gillymiff - from experience of travelling to costa blanca last summer with print outs from this website along with my brother who had the AA guide book...the print outs were much more use and more up to date...a recommended restaurant in the AA guide for instance had been shut some 18 months or so by the time we travelled.

I opened a word document and scoured the forum using the search facility and just copied all the useful stuff unto the one document as and when i came across it and printed it before we went...i also copied stuff in from various other websites.and from the PM's and responses i got when asking questions on this site.....i will certainly do this for our trip to Malta in November.

That's a really good idea, reckon I might try that!
