Exotic and soulful,\u00a0serene and\u00a0weather-beaten, Morocco\u2019s historical\u00a0coastal city, Essaouira, moves at its own relaxed pace. It\u2019s the perfect destination\u00a0to de-stress\u00a0and immerse your senses in another world entirely, to sample\u00a0colourful traditional culture and simple pleasures. It\u00a0will soon be\u00a0all the easier to access\u00a0for UK tourists too,\u00a0with\u00a0new easyjet flights from London Luton,\u00a0from\u00a0May 2015, taking you there in under four hours.<\/p>\n

Essaouira (pronounced essaweera<\/em>) is a maze of narrow streets seemingly made for aimless, relaxed wandering, with an old walled, Unesco listed citadel whose labyrinthine structure can be viewed wonderfully\u00a0from the top of its wave-battered ramparts. The medina has provided a compelling film set for movies, most notably Orson Welles\u2019 Othello of 1952.<\/p>\n

Culture\u00a0abounds in this agreeable city, where artisans carve wood and weave colourful textiles, and\u00a0traders offer leather Berber shoes, ceramics and spices in the city\u2019s lively souk, with\u00a0none of\u00a0the aggressive sales banter\u00a0found in Marrakech. Art galleries showcase the region\u2019s colourful\u00a0na\u00efve painting style and if you are lucky enough to visit in June, the Gnaoua Festival of World Music brings together artists from all over the world and showcases the\u00a0local gnaoua\u00a0music along with\u00a0rock, reggae and jazz acts.<\/p>\n

Essaouira’s port was one of the most important hubs for trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas until the early 19th Century, when Casablanca and nearby Agadir took over. Now\u00a0the harbour is dominated by fishermen bringing in their catch on\u00a0bright azur\u00a0wooden boats and trawlers. Stands on the port sell their fish as fresh as can be,\u00a0cooking it for you on the grill and serving it\u00a0with bread and salad. The best fish market, however, can be found off the medina\u2019s main street, with a communal eating area that is the favourite\u00a0of\u00a0locals and\u00a0tourists alike.<\/p>\n

Strong currents make Essaouira\u2019s wide and windswept, sandy beach more suited to windsurfers than swimmers, but it is a great place for walking or taking a camel or horse ride. At low tide, cross the Ksob River to search out\u00a0the ruins of the Borj el-Berod, an old fortress that\u2019s partially covered in sand, which locals believe was the inspiration behind Jimi Hendrix\u2019s classic \u2018Castles Made of Sand\u2019.<\/p>\n

Many have relaxed rooftop terraces where you can sit and enjoy the sea breeze, and others are also restaurants, offering some of the most luxurious, if laid back, dining options\u00a0in town.<\/p>\n
