Essaouira

The Wind City

After the desert, the air shifts. Essaouira greets travelers with salt on the wind and the hum of the Atlantic.Whitewashed walls, indigo shutters, and a skyline of seagulls — a port city built by traders and musicians, polished by centuries of sand and sea. The rhythm slows here, but the wind never stops; it scrapes the walls, cools the courtyards, and reminds you that movement is also a kind of rest.
