The patron saints are Saint Paul, Saint Agata and Saint George. Although not declared officially as a patron saint, St.George Preca (San Gorg Preca) is greatly revered as the first canonised Maltese saint. He was canonised in 3 June 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI. A number of Maltese individuals are recognised as Blessed, including Maria Adeodata Pisani and Nazju Falzon, these having been beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2001. Bugibba Car Hire

The climate is Mediterranean (Köppen climate classification Csa), with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. There is no real thermal dormant season for plants, although plant growth can be checked briefly by abnormal cold in winter (patches of ground frost may occur in inland locales), and summer heat and aridity may cause vegetation to wilt. Effectively there are only two seasons, which makes the islands attractive for tourists, especially during the drier months. However, strong winds can make Malta feel cold during the springtime.

The official languages of Malta are Maltese and English, both of which are spoken by the population. Maltese, which is constitutionally the national language, is genetically a Semitic language, descended from Sicilian Arabic (from southern Italy), with substantial borrowing from Sicilian, Italian, a little French, and more recently, and increasingly, English.

Until 1800 Malta had very few industries except the cotton, tobacco and shipyards industry. The dockyard was later used by the British for military purposes. At times of war Malta's economy prospered due to its strategic location. This could be seen during the Crimean War of 1854. This benefited those who had a military role, as well as the craftsmen.

Malta is an archipelago in the central Mediterranean Sea (in its eastern basin), some 93 km south of the Italian island of Sicily across the Malta Channel; east of Tunisia and north of Libya in Africa. Only the three largest islands Malta Island (Malta), Gozo (Ghawdex), and Comino (Kemmuna) are inhabited. Sliema Car Hire

In January 2007 International Living chose Malta as the country with the best climate in the world. The lowest temperature ever recorded at Valletta was on February 19, 1895, with +1.2 ? (34.2 ?), and the highest temperature was +43.8 ? (110.8 ?) recorded in August 1999 at Luqa International Airport. An unofficial lowest temperature of -1.7 ? (28.9 ?) was recorded on February 1, 1962 in the Ta' Qali airfield with snow on the ground. Snow is virtually unheard of, with very few and brief snow flurries recorded in February 1895, January 1905 and January 31st, 1962. No accumulation has been reported on the coast at least since 1800, but on the last day of January 1962 snow briefly covered some parts of the interior of the main island. The following night the only frost in the history of Malta was recorded in the Ta' Qali airfield. Top Ten Car Rental Tips
