This photograph showcases a nostalgic scene of Xlendi, featuring the iconic statue of St Andrew, the patron saint of fishermen, standing on its pedestal overlooking the bay. Traditional wooden boats, known as luzzijiet, line the shore, reflecting the village’s maritime heritage. A ramp leads directly to the water, where locals are seen getting the small boat out of the sea. A prominent stone building with characteristic wooden shutters adds to the timeless feel of the image, while the steep terraced hillsides frame the village, encapsulating Xlendi’s tranquil coastal beauty.
