The biggest disappointment in Malta: Comino and the Blue Lagoon.

Credetemi, è un vero peccato per me dover scrivere questo articolo, ma credo sia molto importante quando si viaggia avere la possibilità di sentire diversi punti di vista e di capire a cosa si va incontro. Ho sentito parlare della Blue Lagoon da chiunque sia andato a Malta, tutti ce l'avevano consigliata e in tutti i siti di viaggio è descritto come un posto imperdibile. Noi siamo stati a Gozo durante la settimana di Ferragosto, ed essendo che anche lì è festa nazionale, abbiamo pensato che ci sarebbe stata gente in qualunque giorno della settimana e siamo andati di domenica. Eravamo preparati alla folla, ma non a quello che abbiamo visto: centinaia e centinaia di persone ammassate su ogni angolo dell'isola, ogni quindici minuti arrivavano barche che scaricavano altra gente, barche che rimanevano vicino al molo con i motori accesi appestando l'aria, quella meravigliosa acqua cristallina di cui avevo tanto sentito parlare sporcata da alghe arrivate con le barche e cartacce dei turisti. Il colpo finale ce l'hanno dato quando hanno cambiato i sacchi della spazzatura (ad un metro dal nostro ombrellone, pagato 30 €!) lasciando quelli pieni lì, sulla spiaggetta. In una parola? Un incubo!

Ora, il fatto che la nostra giornata a Comino non sia stata favolosa non è il punto di questo articolo. Oltre ad essere utile per chi volesse intraprendere il nostro viaggio, vorrei ragionare con voi sull'importanza di tutelare le meraviglie che il nostro pianeta ci ha regalato. Esasperata, quel giorno ho chiesto all'addetto agli ombrelloni se avessimo sbagliato noi ad andarci di domenica e lui mi ha risposto che in quel periodo vengono trasportate a Comino più di TREMILA persone al giorno e che c'erano stati giorni più affollati rispetto a quello. Ora voi immaginate una piccola laguna quanto potrà rimanere così se il flusso dei turisti non verrà controllato. Secondo me parliamo di devastanti cambiamenti in meno di un secolo. Il giorno in cui ci siamo stati la meravigliosa acqua di cui mi avevano parlato era già sporca alle dieci di mattina. L'unica soluzione che vedo per proteggere la bellezza di quel posto è che le visite all'isola vengano controllate e limitate, mettendo su un sistema di prenotazioni di biglietti e trasporti per poterci andare, limitando così sia le corse delle barche che il numero di turisti che vi approdano ogni giorno. Se il governo maltese non prenderà misure di questo genere entro i prossimi anni, temo che entro qualche decennio non potrà più vantarsi delle acque cristalline della Blue Lagoon e ciò è un vero peccato perché sarà l'ennesimo ambiente nature distrutto dall'ambizione, dalla sete di ricchezza e dalla stupidità dell'uomo.



It's a real pity for me having to write this article, but I think it's important when it comes from travel to have the possibility to hear different points of view and to know more of the places that you're going to visit. Everyone who has been in Malta talked to me about the Blue Lagoon in Comino, they told me to go there and every travel site talk about this place as a paradise. So we were prepared to find lot of people there, but we were not prepared to what we saw: hundreds and hundreds of people crammed on the rocks, in every little corner of the island, every quarter of the hour arrived new boats which pull down new people, the boats remained near the dock with their motors running all the time so the stink was terrifying. The beautiful water which so many people described to me was dirty because of the seaweeds raised by the boats and the turists' rubbish. The fatal blow was the moment in which they changed the garbage bags and left the full one near our deckchairs (which we paid 30€!) on the beach. In a word? A real nightmare.
But the fact that our day in Comino wasn't perfect is not the point. I'd like this article, in addition to being useful for the people who want to go there, I'd like to reflect together on the importance of protect and respect the wonderd that our planet gave us. That day the man of the deckchairs told me that each day boats transport more then three thousands of people. So just imagine a small lagoon like that how many time will remain the same if the flow of tourists won't be regulated. I think that we can talk about drastic changes in less then a century. The day we went there the crystalline water of which everyone talks was dirty from 10 a.m. The only solution to protect the beauty of the place is to limit and control the visits to the island, making the visit bookable and limiting the rides of the boats and the number of tourists per day. If the maltese government won't do something like this, I fear that in some years they won't be able to boast of their paradisiac Blue Lagoon, and that's a real pity because it will be another beautiful environment destroyed buy the ambition and the foolishness of the men.

  4. Mi dispiace molto per la tua esperienza e dalle foto posso dire che sei stata fin troppo gentile nel tuo post. Grazie per averci parlato a aver condiviso con noi la tua esperienza, è molto importante che la gente sappia tutto di un posto, il bello e il brutto. Ah, quanta ragione hai su come stiamo curando male questo pianeta, io vado in giro sempre come i miei scarti nella borsa se non trovo un cestino adeguato e ogni volta che vedo la gente buttare le cose per terra glieli vorrei far mangiare.
    Saluti,
    Flo
