Essaouira is a fortified port on the Atlantic, about three hours from Marrakech. Its medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is easy to walk, with its galleries, its thuya wood workshops and its ramparts above the sea.
At the port the blue boats come in with the catch of the day, grilled for lunch at the stalls.
