Il-Karraba |
 |
Il-Karraba is geographically located between two bays, namely Ghajn Tuffieha and the bay of Gnejna on the west of the Island. It can be reached by scaling around the natural reserve on the inner side of Ghajn Tuffieha, and following paths on the clay slopes leading right up to it. You will notice that the views change every few paces. Enjoy |

This steppe is protected and looked after by the Gaia Foundation, and listed as one of our foremost natural flora reserves. The walk leads right across it. |
