Template:Towns (Malta) Bidnija is a rural hamlet in Malta near Mosta, and home to 100 families(fewer than 350 people) which consider themselves as one family as they are all members of one big family. [citation needed] Bidnija is a tiny village even by Maltese standards, and is located between two valleys which are 'Wied Qannotta' and 'Wied Tal-Hzejjen'. It is still largely a farmer's village since it is entirely surrounded by fields which mainly belongs to the inhabitants themselves, although in recent years many have moved here in order to enjoy the quiet life amidst the countryside. Bidnija has good horse riding facilities and is also home of a clay pigeon shooting club. One can also find a good restaurant here which specialises in the traditional Maltese Rabbit Stew. Its small chapel built in 1920 by the inhabitants themselves is dedicated to the Holy Family and a Feast with the procession is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of July.
