Maltese food blends Mediterranean and North African influences, with fresh seafood, rabbit stew and pastizzi pastries appearing widely on menus. The islands sit on a major bird migration route, and the blue rock thrush is the national bird. Village festas honour patron saints with band marches, processions and fireworks, and a summer visit may coincide with one.
The Knights of St John ruled the islands from 1530 to 1798, and the British stayed until independence in 1964, a history visible in the architecture around Valletta and the harbour towns.
