Lo que dice el Arxiduc:
“A little further away, in the station’s plaza and just in front of the dock for steamships, is the elegant Hotel Metropole. It is Moorish in style, with a central hall shaped by five arches. It offers 22 rooms which are all fairly well decorated. It is the tallest building in the new city, and from its terrace is a marvellous view of the canal’s opening.
A garden has been built next to the hotel, but will it last? The wind blows sand and, at times, with such strength, that, to keep it from covering all the terrain, it is protected with a special plant: Mesembryanthemum caninum, which spreads out little by little and covers the ground.”
Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria, Bizerte, J. Rothschild, Paris, 1900 (Prague, 1897)
