The Project took place between January 2005 and December 2006.

The funding amounted to 145,000 Euros and represented 73% of the value of the project (of circa 200,000 euros) whilst the Local Council itself financed the remaining 27%.

|
|
Wied il-Mielah is one of the eleven valleys found within the locality of Gharb It starts from just under the Ta' Pinu Sanctuary and extends along a 2324 metre stretch towards the coastal cliffs on the western part of Gozo. It is another picturesque valley found across the Gozitan countryside. Being slightly afar from the residential area, the valley lies in a tranquil and natural environment. Very few in fact are aware that at the very end of the valley, nature has carved a large window within the rocks through natural erosion.
