Lo que dice el Arxiduc:
“We return to Bizerte and still have a few days left to rest in the magnificent Bay of Sebra. Afterwards, we’ll head west, saying our last goodbye to the brave guardians of the semaphore tower. Andrea Neptuni foams up the sea, and Galita kindly smiles at us. We’re heading towards high sea, but we shout to Bizerte: “Farewell, see you soon!” And we’ll end these lines citing a few words by Baron Combourg who, in a speech at the Society for Colonial Studies, said: ‘Tunisia is the jewel of North Africa… It has a priceless treasure: the port at Bizerte, the prettiest in the Mediterranean!’”
Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria, Bizerte, J. Rothschild, Paris, 1900 (Prague, 1897)
Datos proyecto Nixe III:
Bizerte certainly called our attention as a city which still maintains the charm of traditional Tunisia. For example, we had some of the same sensations here as in Kelibia and Sfax, two other cities which haven’t been engulfed by mass tourism yet.
The new port is impressive, though it probably doesn’t look at all like what the Archduke saw, especially the area around Sebra. What hasn’t changed is the old port which has maintained all the flavor the Archduke noticed more than one hundred years ago.
