🌊 Relaxing time in Morocco in the windy port town of Essaouira🇲🇦🎨

If you want to take a break on your trip to Morocco, Essaouira is the place to go.

The sea breeze is pleasant, and the white port town is filled with cats and art, making it a soothing spot that you can visit for a day trip from Marrakech.



⚓1. Dazzling white walls and blue! A leisurely stroll through the Mediterranean-style medina

Essaouira's old town (medina) is a refreshing streetscape with blue doors and windows that stand out against the white walls. There is no hustle and bustle like Marrakech, and the charm is that you can stroll around leisurely. The streets are lined with art galleries and handmade goods shops, making it perfect for finding stylish souvenirs!

📍The medina is also registered as a World Heritage Site
👗There are many boutiques in the style of select shops, making it a paradise for miscellaneous goods lovers👜



🐟2. The fishing port area where you can encounter port town gourmet food and fishermen's scenes

When you go to the fishing port, you will see seagulls flying and fishermen mending their nets. We also recommend the food stalls where you can grill and eat fresh seafood on the spot! Even a simple salt-grilled dish brings out the flavor of the ingredients.

🍤Recommended: Grilled sardines and octopus
📷Photo spot: The sight of blue fishing boats lined up is like a painting



🎶3. A creative atmosphere where music and art live

Essaouira is also famous as the venue for the world-famous music festival "Gnawa World Music Festival". The sounds of street musicians, art painted on the walls, and gallery flags fluttering in the wind... The atmosphere where art and freedom blend together will relax your mind.

🎨The art galleries are small but authentic
🎵If you're lucky, you may even encounter a street performance♪



Essaouira is a place where you can take a break during your trip to Morocco. Experience a trip that uses all your senses while being blown by the sea breeze 🌴🌞🐚
