Essaouira

After breakfast, leaving at 8:00 in the morning for a 3-hour journey, we arrive at the old port of Mogador, built by the Portuguese on a narrow peninsula next to an immense crescent of fine sand. Perfectly sheltered by its impressive walls of French construction of the eighteenth century, the city is largely pedestrian and is divided into different neighborhoods by its design in the form of a grid. From the top of the Skala you can see the colorful fishing port, the fortresses and the Spanish canyons. Essaouira is also famous for its refined craftsmanship, especially wooden objects (tuya) perfectly interspersed with lemon, ebony, mother-of-pearl or copper or silver threads.
