Blue Grotto - reached by boat, Wied iz zurrieq, Ghar lapsi (both very wonderful for diving), B'bugia & Marsaxlokk -romantic atmosphere in the evening, nice and exquisite restaurants. Very safe for children. Nearby villages to visit are Qrendi, Zurrieq, Safi, Kirkop, Siggiewi, Luqa, Gudja and Ghaxaq. Mqabba Fireworks Club are the world champions (won in 2006/2007). Between 9 - 15 Jun and the 8-15 Aug the village celebrates 2 big traditional feasts with food, church processions, street decorations and lights. In summer similar feasts are celebrated around the island's villages, all for free. Places of interests in the village are the Parish Church, Vincenti Tower, Mentna Catacombs and small chapels around the village. Mqabba is a traditional Maltese village surrounded with quarries. Nice to experience day-to-day life in its simplest way.
