Zebbug, Malta

With a population of just 15,017, Zebbug is a sleepy Maltese town that trades in olive oil and religious pomp rather than modern jobs and amenities. The "Città Rohan" title bestowed in 1777 belies the bureaucratic headaches residents face, from plundered churches to a reliance on cottage industries like fireworks. While the town has produced some notable cultural figures, the average expat will find little to attract them beyond quaint historical charm.
