This quiet rural village east of Nadur has one of Malta's few surviving (but no longer working) 19th century windmills. To the east, where the coastline is characterized by cliffs and rocky outcorps, there are fine views across to the rocky island of Comino and the tiny isle of Cominotto beside it.

Qala is the farthest village from Gozo s Capital Victoria and the closes to the rest of the Maltese archipelago. Breath taking scenes can be enjoyed among other places from the Qala belvedere and from the small courtyard in front of a church dedicated to the immaculate conception but know as Santa Marija tal blat (St. Mary of the rocks).
