Taħt il-Ħnejja
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
La espectacular "Blue Grotto", o en maltès Taħt il-Ħnejja, és una gruta als cingles del sud de Malta. Tot i que més que cova cal dir-ne "sostre natural", de tant oberta que és. De fet és força espectacular com la roca ha format un arc natural que deu estar força endurit per encara aguantar així els embits del mar.
S'hi arriba amb barca (tot i que nosaltres no varem tenir temps) des del proper port natural de Wied iż-Żurrieq. Al fons podeu veure la petita illa deshabitada de Filfla, el punt més al sud de Malta.
================================
The spectacular "Blue Grotto", or in Maltese Taħt il-Ħnejja, is a grotto in the cliffs of southern Malta. Although rather than a cave it should be called a "natural roof", as it is so open. In fact it is quite amazing as the rock has formed a natural arch that must be quite hardened to still withstand the onslaught of the sea.
You can get there by boat (although we didn't have time) from the nearby natural port of Wied iż-Żurrieq. In the background you can see the small uninhabited island of Filfla, the southernmost point of Malta.
