Sète!

Thank you Sète!

Thank you, Sète! Our first stopover after leaving Barcelona and the winter period behind was the beautiful town of Sète. We couldn't have asked for a better start to our European Tour 2023. Escale à Sète invited the Götheborg to be the centerpiece of their biennial event celebrating maritime traditions in the Mediterranean. Fortunately, we also arrived just in time for the annual sea urchin festival. 

Thank you Sète!

Our arrival in Sète at the Quay d'Alger was beautiful. Smaller ships came out to greet us with music, and we reciprocated by offering a traditional gun salute. Even before reaching the city, we could sense the rich maritime culture it had to offer, as the quaysides were packed with people eager to welcome our ship. The following days were filled with joy as thousands of visitors came to see us, and tickets were sold out every day. The city went above and beyond to showcase its best features. We enjoyed oyster opening and tasting on the sundeck, visited the sea urchin festival, and, since Sète is often referred to as the "Venice of the Languedoc," our crew took our ship's boats to explore all the channels surrounding the city. We want to extend a big thank-you to Escale à Sète for inviting us and for the amazing welcome and stopover! 

As we now head out of the Mediterranean, our next stopover will be Gibraltar, where we are scheduled to arrive on April 6th. 

We're looking for volunteers next week!
