"Roam a Remote Island On this small islandbetween the island of Marstrand in the south and island of Tjörn in the north, the houses seem tocling tightly to the rock. Åstol was a major fishing community up until the 1970’s, but has since then struggled. Take a walk around this remoteisland, and then settle down for a meal of smoked shrimp at Åstols Rökeri on the inlet. From there you have a great view over the harbor, and watch the incoming boats navigatethe rocks just outside the harbor and find their way in todock. If you’re lucky, you might catch some live musicat the Rökeri."
