essaouira

Mogador, Medina at the ocean.

After some weeks in Marrakech it was such a difference to be in Essaouira.

For me it was the first time in Essaouira.
We were lucky, because it was exceptionally quiet in the city, so I really could experience the authentic atmosphere. And hardly no wind, also very unusual.

We walked along the harbor, where fishermen were unloading the catch of the day at that time. So many fresh fish and of course I made a lot of pictures, what a photogenic place!

My friend Ank had some fresh oysters at a stall in the harbor. After an overdose of fishy smell, we left the harbor and crossed the main square with playing kids.

We had verbena tea while watching the sunset and thereafter we strolled through the charming narrow streets in the medina and of course we had fish for dinner that night.
