Penthouse, Bahar Ic Caghaq

Bahar ic-Caghaq is a small Maltese village situated between the limits of Madliena, Maghtab, Gharghur and Pembroke. The area is situated at the mouth of the island's longest valley called ‘Wied il-Kbir’. The name 'Bahar ic- Caghaq' in Maltese can be translated to the meaning ‘sea of pebbles’ in English’. The area has been traditionally allocated to one of the nicest bathing spots on the island and as the location’s name suggests, one may find a long stretch of rocky coast characterized by many pebbles and sharp rocks in the limits of the area. Residents are approximately 1,250 persons (2007 estimate). In the last 15 years the land development increased by threefold and Maltese people continue to purchase and develop property in the area.
