Nothing wrong with Malta. I had a good holiday there some time ago. But it's like Spain was about 15/20 years ago. Very commercial, very British orientated and just on the brink of being awful.[/QUOTE]

Sounds to me like you stayed in Bugibba, St Juliens or St Georges. I stay in the north of the island, either Melieha or Paradise Bay. It's quiet, peaceful, has lovely sandy beaches and it just ain't commercial. In fact, at Paradise Bay there is absolutely nothing except the hotel and the ferry terminal - no shops, no bars and no houses. Not everyone's cup of tea but I like it.

I last went to Spain about 20 years ago and I've never been back since. It really was awful. Having said that I know people who have been to quiet spots in Spain and love it. I think you have to know a country to find what suits you best.
