Essaouira
(Essa - we - ra) was a "hippie" destination back in the '60's and still
looks like one today. Very compelling scenery and the windiest
city in Morocco with the downtown area closed to cars, this town was
made for people watching, shopping, and just walking around.
Probably the nicest town on our trip. Our driver said it was the
dream of Moroccans if they only had one place to vacation, then they
would come to Essaouira.
