JORDI: MALTESE TEMPERANCE

Jordi with the Maltese Knights

Jordi was born in Mdina, near La Valletta (Malta). He’s a clown very popular in the world wide circus. 

Although he was born in this little and beautiful Mediterranean island, country home of other artists like Joe Sacco, the famous cartoonist or Corto Maltese, the wonderful hero, he moved to Cubelles (Garraf), near Barcelona, hometown of Charlie Rivel, his inspiration and idol.

Jordi is a clever person who knows what must choose and say in every moment, and thanks to this quick capacity of action-reaction, he reaches a lot of successes.

Malta is a marvellous country formed by three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino. When you go to the island, don’t forget to visit the megalithic temples in Hagar Qim, Mnajdra, Ggantica, Tarxien and the Hypogeum of Ħal-Saflieni in Paola. They’re the most ancient prehistorical temples in Europe considered UNESCO World Heritage Sites, in the same way; you must visit the city of Mdina/Rabat and the capital, La Valetta where you will discover the incredible, mysterious and fascinating story of The Templar Knights of Saint John. You can also visit the Playmobil Factory and Playmobil Fun Park in Birżebbuġa.

EVA & CORTO MALTESE

Corto Maltese

Eva Maltese, our gymnast, is the Corto Maltese’s granddaughter.  

Corto was one of the most important adventurers during the last century. Nobody knows anything about Corto since the day that he disappeared in the middle of the mist near Stonehenge, England. This incident changed Eva’s life forever and she decided to dedicate her whole life to her sport career as her grandfather wished.   She dedicates to gymnastics more than 8 hours every day and this fact is a very important problem for finding a full time job. It’s impossible. For that reason, she combines her career with her grandfather’s searching. 

She’s an expert in prehistorical ruins. She knows Mnajdra, Hagar Qim and the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum in Malta, perfectly. Nowadays, she lives in Sant Boi de Llobregat near the High Efficiency Center (CAR) in Sant Cugat del Vallès where she trains every day and next to Gavà where she works as a volunteer in the Prehistorical Mines.

Over a smile so gold, I was through
Where did you come from? Why did you come from there?

Come to me close boy, take my hand and we fly off to a magic land
