Living in Malta - Difference Between City Life and Village Life

Living in Malta, this is the difference between City life and Village life. I have created this video to show you 2 sides of Malta, one is living in a city which is close to all restaurants, bars, malls, connections around Malta. However the cons of living in Malta in the central area is the constant noise and construction works. From the other side we have Zurrieq, a village in Malta that is predominantly with local people. This side of Malta is beautiful, it is very quite and with less construction. I made a choice to buy an apartment in Zurrieq and its the best decision i made.

THE REASON BEING : It takes an articulate "outsider", Alex in this case, to as they say (🇬🇧), "separate the wheat from the chaff" whilst NOT wearing "rose coloured glasses". There's your answer Karl. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

I'm a Zurrieq local and unfortunately not a lot of people even mention Zurrieq or knowing where it is (yes even Maltese people barely know where it is or even visited Zurrieq). Thank you for showing appreciation and love for my village .

Im thinking to rent apartment in Zurrieq, but can you tell me if I can find jobs in hospitality, like restaurants bars ? How is salary approximately ? I speak only English as well, is it gonna be a problem ?

Zurrieq is the most beautiful village in Malta for me, the charm that Zurrieq has is unique, just seeing the locals soaking the sun at the square and gathering for tea in the nearby bars😍majestic

I would choose a traditional house in the countryside! Gorgeous! I’m heading back to St Paul’s Bay on Wednesday for another week holiday. I was there in December. I really like it there.

Hehe good one. Visit my barber in Gzira, the shop is “Turkish Barber” and his name is Andrea (he is Albanian)

[@mattmcc72]

I'm in the same position, I've live in Malta for 8 years, lived in a few places. Some I've loved, some I've hated. I knew Zurrieq a little having lived near by, but it wasn't until I ran their 2019 Half Marathon until I fell in love with the place. Like most small towns and villages, Zurrieq is beautiful. But the people I meet and talk to that day, made it my only choice for where to make my home.

[@AlexinMalta]

Hello Neighboor! What a nice comment to read, im glad you are loving Zurrieq, honestly i dont see myself living elsewhere, oh no, Qrendi would be my second choice :)

[@mattmcc72]

@@AlexinMalta For me, my second choice was Siggiewi. I lived there for a couple of year after moving from Luton in the UK. 2 years in Siggiewi undid the damage that 20 years in that insanity put on my sole.

EXCELLENT & WELL ARTICULATED COMPARISON ALEX 👏. I would prefer a combo of BOTH : beautiful old ST PAUL'S BAY Village area 🌊🌿😍. For something quieter how about MANIKATA or even MGARR village? 🤔 - but then I'm biased towards the NORTH ☺. One final point Alex, you are right, in a place like ZURRIEQ you've got an "identity & a feeling of belonging", which would have been non existent in "busy" GZIRA ..
