Zurrieq is located in the furthest corner of the Maltese Island. It's on the coast, but a different type of coast. There aren't many beaches here, instead one will find some of Malta's highest cliffs and deepest caves. Property in Zurrieq is priced very well due to the distance it is from the touristic demands of Sliema, St. Julians and Paceville. Although many might see it as too far, some climbing enthusiasts look for this specially.  Climbing in Malta is at its prime, with thousands of routes and thousands more to be made Zurrieq is the climbing capital the Mediterranean. People from all over the world come to climb in Malta and 'wied babu' is the place to be on Sunday afternoon.
