Itinerary description

The best section is between kilometers 18 and 23: technical and fun trails and spectacular coast views. The rest is the round-trip road, which, as many of you know, is unpleasant for cyclists.

I've tried a few things on this route, but none have worked (besides puncturing and breaking my GPS mount):

- In km. 13.2 I tried to find a way to get to the water treatment plant off-road, but it was all private property and in the end, I had to turn around.

- In km. 15.9 I tried to follow the coast but ran into the fence seen in the photo. Only the "beware of the dog" sign was missing. I tried to stay closer to the coast, but there was no viable path.

- I tried to follow the coastline, but at km. 22.4 I didn't see a clear trail and it was getting late for me to explore so I got on the road to go back through St. Paul

If you can drive to Mellieha, it would be better to do just that part and try to finish the coast until Xemxja
