I know that comparisons are odious but, for some reason, I cannot help but compare cities. And sometimes, without even meaning to, I find myself comparing our old capital city, Mdina, to our current capital city, Valletta. Both are beautiful in different ways and while I feel that I know Mdina like an old and loved friend, I have not explored Valletta that well – perhaps because it is a young upstart when compared to the older capital which has been around for at least 3000 years. But I am slowly making amends and walking around Valletta with a camera in my hands and trying to make up for lost time. That’s how I cam across this wonderful little place aptly named The Bridge Bar - because at the foot of the stairs …

Wow..beautiful ..how gorgeous..thanks for this gem of a post!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting place and view! Hope you go back soon to bring us more tales about Valletta. That is a gorgeous climbing vine (bougainvillea perhaps?)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... The house I grew up in, we had that plant- bougainvillea, right?
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful architecture... the wood window boxes are so very charming, and the green one fits right in with bouganvilla flowers!
ReplyDeleteLove these photos, Loree!

Two very different views, both so nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place! I would love to go and have a drink there. I always enjoy visiting Malta through your lens!
ReplyDeleteSuch unique architecture, Loree. Beautiful! Loved the balconies, shutters, bay windows, bridges and stone steps!
ReplyDeleteNeat how the bridge leads right to the bar which is snugly set in next to the stairs. Valletta is a lovely city, worth exploring!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for visit my blog and lovely comment!
ReplyDeleteBest Regards!

I remember the first time I discoverd this bridge - I fell in love with that area - it's so different from the modernised central shopping area.
ReplyDeleteit is sad to admit how ugly my city (Manila) is compared to both Valetta and Mdina, which are both exquisite based on the pictures you post.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting views of Valletta, reminds me of Rome and smaller towns in Italy as Genazzano. Brazil also changed its capital sixty years ago. Moved from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia. I confess that I think this is a shame because Rio is much more elegant than Brasilia.
