ESSAOUIRA
Essaouira is flourishing town on the Atlantic Ocean with a harbor full of fishing boats and swooping sea gulls and an 18 century fort that with high walls which is such pristine shape that it looks as if it was never in a war and is so immaculate cared for as if it is waiting for one. Within this fort, the Medina are houses crowded together with narrow lanes in between with no motor vehicles able to enter it’s gates several narrow gates.
And most of these narrow lanes are lined with shops that display their goods out into the narrow lanes with shopkeepers inviting in anyone that looks with even mild interest at what they have to seek. There are also dozens of restaurants scattered everywhere. The streets fill up, particularly in the evening when families that live in the narrow lanes come out to walk with tourists from all over Europe along the wide promenade next to the very wide beach that circles the bay and late in the evening the restaurants all fill up.
This is all after one short days observation.
