the island, Comino and Mellieħa with a wonderful view in the winter of the green fields and the blue sea. The area near the tower was constructed into a garden. Demographics As of March 2014, Nadur had a population which neared 4,500 people, which makes it the third most populated Gozitan town after Xagħra and Victoria. A small number of people earn their living from the sea as fishermen or sailors. Almost all other people work as businessmen, analysts, teachers, and other professions. There are about 20 farmers in Nadur, the majority of whom work their fields on part-time basis. From the orchards of Nadur come most of the local fruits such as plums, peaches, apples, oranges and lemons. This produce maintained commercial contacts with Malta for over 3000 years. Today this commerce is still ongoing and a great amount of Maltese citrus fruits are produced in Nadur. The local council has promoted the planting of olive trees imported from Italy as these trees have consistently decreased in number over time. Regions Although Nadur is spread out, it can be split in various regions, namely the main square, Ta' Ħida, San Blas and Ta' Kenuna The main square centres around the parish church, with a host of shops, eateries, snack bars, and mostly residential housing. Important places of interest in the centre are: Sacred Heart (Ta' Karkanja) church, Local Council, police station, parish office, primary school, Mnarja Band Club, Nadur Youngsters Football Club, Museum branches (male and female), Franciscan Sisters Convent & Chapel and playing field. Ta' Ħida's main artery surrounds Ramla Bay's main road, which is particularly busy in the summertime. Ta' Ħida's new extension, along Ramla Bay road, comprises a housing estate built in the 1970s and a playing field. A new, albeit controversial, cemetery is being constructed on the way to Ramla. San Blas has both residential areas, relatively old and new, very fertile land and picturesque valleys, full of mainly citrus trees. San Blas takes the name after the little secluded red-sandy bay, called after bishop Blaise, whose veneration still exists in the Catholic Church up to today. A nearby beach is Daħlet Qorrot (an 'inland beach'), with many locals owning caves and garages where many keep their fishing boats. Nearby is San Blas, a tiny, sandy bay on the north-eastern coast. It is a favourite spot for swimming for local residents. Close to San Blas,
