3:10 This scene cannot be from 1961 since the first car on the right is a FIAT 850, launched in 1964. I want to highlight that this is not criticism but trying to help you delimit the dates. Thanks😀a lot for uploading the video!!
I holidayed in Bugibba. We had a flat. Lived in Sliema/Bugibba 70/71. It is as I remembered it. I need to go back to lay some ghosts but live in California now. If my husband dies first I would consider moving to Gozo.
Stay away if you have good memories!!!!! It has become unrecognizable….this government has continued to destroy it. It seems as if the Maltese are allergic to anything clean and green.
This video must have been shot between 1973 and -77 . A 16.27 at the Mosta Bus terminus the bus is in Mellieħa colour . Prior 1973 mosta buses were brown with light brown . In 1977 th ebuses were amalgamated to one company with light green colour
I am Maltese, and proud of what i am now and of my heritage. Everyone complains what a shithole Malta has became, as compared to the past, but no one remembers that in the past everyone complained about not having this or not having that. Also, as i remember, I am 62 btw, complaints when comparing Malta to other nations, especially by those who, at that time could afford to travel. And please cranes are a nuisance, I agree, but unfortunately you encounter them everywhere, in any country. And also today, unlike previous times we can enjoy nearly every part of our Island, unlike in the 50's and 60's until 1971, when certain areas were precluded, specifically, to Maltese nationals and reserved to the Services. Oh, can anyone say that Valletta was nicer then with cars everywhere?

You are welcome.
I spent 70 days in Malta last summer.

Not a crane in sight! When Malta was still beautiful 😢
Beautiful like gibraltar was in the 70s always wanted to visit malta but never got the chance.
This video was not shot in 1961. The Valletta gate shown was constructed way after 1961. More likely to be 1971.
Thank you for highlighting this!
