Ohhhh Essaouira

Ok, I loved it here…loved loved loved! Perhaps dare I say it my fav place thus far (Marrakesh is still to come!). This laid back beach town was the perfect mix of casual and cool .. literally cool. Only reaching 35+ during the day and with a nice breeze off the lake, in Essaouira I could walk around and not use the phrase “it is so hot I feel like my skin is burning off”. Days were spent in the hassle free markets, lying out on the beach, exploring the UNESCO protected Medina walls and hanging out late night at surf bars with the locals. A must must in this costal town is having lunch in the fish market. Sweet and succulent, select a fresh fish right off the boat and they will fry it right up in front of you. SOOO yummy this was one of my fav things to do… served with Moroccan salad, fries and washed down with a Fanta it was a fabulous treat for my inner foodie!
