Geocache Description:

Wherever you walk in Xaghra you will find fantastic views. The GZ is part of a viewing area, which overlooks Marsalforn, Tas Salvatur staue and the fertile valleys between. 


 Lukin

In this particular area of Xaghra in 1814 one of the farmhouses was used as a plague hospital. It is thought that the plague was carried to Xaghra in a headdress from a plague stricken house in Malta. Xaghra was isolated and due to the precautions taken and the work of a British Doctor, Dr McAdam, the rest of Gozo was saved from the plague.  104 people died in total, including Dr Mc Adam and the parish priest Dun Vincenz Cauchi.

If you carry on walking along Triq Il Knisja you will find another viewing area overlooking Victoria with fantastic views of the Citadella.  A walk down Triq il Marga will take you down to Marsalforn.

The Cache is a Bison Tube with log.You need your own pen.

 If you come in the evening there is a high chance of “muggles” as  it is a favourite spot for the local gentlemen to sit and chat in the warm evenings. During the day it is quieter.
