El Jadida
Echoes of the Sea Walls
Before the long run of sand and tide begins, El Jadida sits like a pause in history. The sea laps at the ramparts of the old Portuguese citadel, and the light inside the cistern still flickers like water on stone. It’s a town of sea salt and memory — whitewashed walls, fishing nets drying in alleys, the scent of tide and iron. From here, the Atlantic opens wide, carrying travelers south toward Oualidia, Essaouira, and the quiet rhythm of the coast.
