Sitting on the Atlantic coast, the Moroccan port of Essaouira is a picturesque old town of blue tones, with stores full of Argan Oil and market stalls overflowing with fresh olives.
The coastal winds make it popular for water sports such as windsurfing and kitesurfing and the seafront ramparts of the Skala du Port is the place to visit for fresh fish when the boats return in the afternoon.
