A small traditional fishing village in the south eastern region of Malta. Known for its traditional Sunday market, of fresh fish caught by the many fishermen of the area, from their brightly painted small boats. The walkway promenade has many restaurants and across the bay one can see Malta’s power plant complex at Delimara.
The name Marsaxlokk comes from the Arabic word “marsa” which means “port” and “xlokk” is the Maltese word for “southeast”. The word is related to the name for the dry “sirocco” wind that blows from the Sahara desert. (wikipedia.org)
