Västkusten, Sweden (No. 2)
Västergötland has been inhabited for several thousands of years. The province, Bohuslän, is among the internationally most known because of its pre-historical remains. The oldest remains in Sotenäs Municipality are from around 6000 BC. From the younger Stone Age are several burial monuments (dolmens). From the Bronze Age and Iron Age are many rock carvings, which the province also otherwise is noted for (especially the northern Tanum Municipality).
The name Sotenäs is believed to have originated from around 1000 AD, when also the first steps from the historical hundred, Sotenäs Hundred (or Härad in Swedish), can be traced.
With the Christianization of Sweden several churches were erected, starting in the 11th century. The first ones were the churches in Askum and Tossene.
Later, in the 16th century, the industry became dominated by fishing of herring. It dominated the industry for centuries; herring was used in large amounts in Bohuslän - as a basic food but also in the making of oil, wax candles, etc.
In the 19th century the island Malmön was started as a quarry. (Note that "Malm" means "rock" in Swedish). The quarry was kept alive and was of industrial significance until the 1930s.
The coat of arms was granted in 1977 and depicts a halibut. It is built on the insignia for Sotenäs Hundred and has been used for centuries.

Fim da comemoração de 30: ilha de Kleven e Lindsteds myr
Acabei de voltar da Grécia e alguns milhares de posts virão sobre essa viagem deliciosa. Mas antes de começar essa tarefa gigantesca, aproveito para postar o último da série do fim-de-semana de anivers��rio em Oslo. A segunda de aniversário, 16 de junho, foi passada em uma cidadezinha bem turística na costa leste da Suécia, Smögen, mostrada no post anterior. Agora aproveito para trazer imagens de…

Västkusten, Sweden (No. 3)
A favorite of the late Ingrid Bergman, the Bohuslän coast feels a bit like a secret French Riviera. What the high-latitude region lacks in American tourists it makes up for with plentiful seafood and bright seasonal sunshine.
Here’s the lowdown on visiting this Swedish wonderland.
If solitude and seafood are a priority, stick to late spring for oysters and late September for lobsters.
Midsummer celebrations beginning in June linger through August, with vacationing Swedes filling the otherwise placid stillness with sailing, kayaking, and yachting.
