Essaouira is a coastal small city. I arrived here with a different expectation, some people were talking about the beautiful beaches, but if you are coming here thinking a nice swim in the sea that's not at all like that. Is the ocean water so it's pretty cold and windy as well. But if you are a surfer that's the right place.
The atmosphere is much more relaxed compared to Marrakech chaos, so is not a bad idea come here and enjoy few days. Life here turn around tourism and overall is a fishing town.
That's exactly what run on my mind when i think about this small city, the food was delicious, around the port there are many restaurant boat that offer you fresh fish, but the best restaurant are the open kiosks where you actually can see and choose your favorite fish.
The Medina is not big like the others city, so you won't be lost, even i have to admit i didn't like so much, i couldn't find some typical shops, i thought they were made only for tourist. But during the night there is a strange atmosphere because of a strange fog, i love when Morocco is surrounded by mysterious air.
Beyond all my considerations about how the place change because of the tourism, Essaouira gave me a lot through the people, walking around there are a many situations that you want just immortalize, the different has always a strong attraction on me.
