A Fisherman mending his fishnet at Marsaxlokk
Marsaxlokk,
Malta
Marsaxlokk is the old fishing village located in the south-eastern part of Malta. Its name comes form the words marsa (port) and xlokk (south-east)
Every Sunday morning, Marsaxlokk is host of the biggest fish market in Malta.
Stalls are erected all around the quayside and fishermen sell their catch.
One can find a display of all the different types of fish.
This market has become so popular among tourists and locals that it has been extended along all the inner Harbour.
On days when there is no fishing the men just clean the Luzzu's (boats) and mend the nets.
