Dwejra Bay, San Lawrenz
Hi there! Just a quick intro: my name is Sabine. Being a somewhat seasoned blogger, I’ll tackle the first real installment of our new blog. But don’t be fooled – this will certainly not become a one-man-show. Quite to the contrary, our aim is to show you the nooks and crannies of Gozo how they are perceived by totally different people – real people! You are very welcome to leave comments and/or suggestions on our posts, and should you have questions, we’ll be happy to answer those too!
So without further ado, let’s get going!
It will perhaps not come as a surprise to you that our first post should be about Dwejra. I dare say that everyone who stays at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz will pay at least one visit to the famous Azure Window (which almost made it into the New 7 Wonders of Nature!), Fungus Rock and the little Inland Sea, all of which form part of stunning Dwejra Bay. To get there is easy: exiting the hotel grounds with a left turn, turn left again at the main road – and yet again upon reaching the village square of San Lawrenz. From then on it’s downhill all the way and as straight forward as the meandering course of the steep road allows it.
Dwejra’s vicinity to the hotel have made it the favourite spot I often visit when I’m in need of “getting out”. When a day has been particularly stressful, or the stifling monotony of a never-ending week gets to me, I head down there straight after work. On four wheels it barely takes five minutes; walking, obviously, takes a little longer – unfortunately a lot longer on the steep way back!
As I leave the village core of San Lawrenz and get the first glimpses of the Mediterranean Sea, I invariably slow down, and marvel at the huge agaves that grow on more or less barren land to the right hand side of the road. They look particularly good just before sunset making for beautiful lens fodder!
The Azure Window itself is an awesome view to behold; however my preferred corner in Dwejra is a little away from that spot. I normally park my car at the first open space just before reaching the bottom of the long-winding road, and head for the rocky terrain to the left, underneath the tower and just opposite Fungus Rock.
Being a “sea person”, I love to sit down on a rock and just watch nature as she plays with water. This spectacle is especially marvellous when the sea is a little whipped up and waves crash onto shore relentlessly.
If you haven’t gathered yet what Azure Your Mind is all about, then it might be helpful if I tell you that this, for me, is it!
