The clocks have gone back, the temperature has dropped, and we’ve had the first of the autumn storms. Summer on Gozo might well and truly over for another few months, but there’s still plenty to keep us entertained.
This month starts strong with an island wide celebration of All Saints Day which will see almost all of Gozo’s villages bathed in candlelight. There’s plenty of family-friendly events, exhibitions and concerts taking place too, including the Malta International Piano Festival.
As we head into the end of November, Christmas celebrations will start, heralding the second best time of the year on this gorgeous isle; Christmas on Gozo.
