Essaouira

Essaouira is a charming coastal town located in Morocco, known for its picturesque white-washed buildings, vibrant markets, and stunning beaches. This laid-back town has become a popular destination for photographers seeking to capture its unique blend of traditional Moroccan architecture and bohemian atmosphere. Some of the best photography locations in Essaouira include the historic medina, with its narrow alleyways and colorful doorways, the bustling fish market where locals gather to buy and sell fresh seafood, and the iconic Skala de la Ville, a historic fortress offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Saliendo de la Medina hay una especie de fortaleza amurallada que delimita con el puerto pesquero de esta localidad. Esta construcción defensiva tiene un torreón al que se puede subir.

Durante la ascensión al mismo, existe este mirador en forma de ojo de buey desde donde se puede tener un visión peculiar de la ciudad. Incluso hay un banco para poder subirse y hacer mejor las fotografías (sobretodo para hobbits como yo).

Retrocediendo en el tiempo

Por las calles de Essaouira el tiempo parece no pasar. Esta singular ciudad conserva ese ambiente de antaño sin negarse a las nuevas tecnologías que facilitan la vida a sus habitantes. Si te dejas llevar por sus callejuelas y respiras del ambiente que las impregna, puedes llegar imaginarte en otra época mucho tiempo atrás.

It is a city in the western Moroccan economic region of Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, on the Atlantic coast.

Its medina quarter seems from a scene of "One Thousand and One Nights". It's a fabulous place to enjoy an excellent weather, an exquisite fresh fish and splendid hotels.
