Location
Essaouira
Essaouira is a real place to live; it has a depth and soul that have nothing to do with the tourists. The medina is a hubbub of activity, and every corner or street you walk down has a different story to tell. The harbor works 24/7 except on Eid and religious festivals, bringing an array of fresh fish daily; if the fishermen have had a good day, they give out bags of sardines to the locals as a gift!. A friend described Essaouira as the city of smiles, which sums it up perfectly.
