Essaouira – Mogador
Crenellated walls, the breath of the trade winds, houses with blue and white facades, colors, sea spray, a unique atmosphere, Essaouira, the former Mogador is the “Bride of the Atlantic”.
Protected by its ramparts from the trade winds and the sea spray, this small white pearl with blue reflections leads us into a relaxed oriental romanticism.
The blue of the sky and the sea mix with the multitude of small fishing boats which contrasts with the ochre color of the ramparts, welcome to the soft atmosphere of Essaouira!
It is very pleasant and easy to find your way in the small streets of the Medina, listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2001. The small shop of all kinds, the art galleries, the carpet sellers, the sellers of antiques, of babouches, of burnous which color the street. The smells of spices, argan oil, orange blossom, the fragrances which perfume the surroundings, make the Medina a real pleasure to wander around and let yourself be carried by the desires of the moment. What is pleasant and appreciable is the courtesy of the merchants. Here, no commercial aggressiveness, the haggling is done in a relaxed way, just like the atmosphere of the city.
