The Real Estate in Malta is booming, and our views have changed into a surreal landscape. Everywhere you look you see apartments, planning authority sites, road construction, and the list goes on.

A normal photo of the typical Maltese countryside; rubble walls and greener. The first thing that captures attention is the beautiful scenery.
