Essaouira / الصويرة - Once one of the major Atlantic commercial centres between Africa and Europe and now a wonderful seaside town with a vibrant fishing port.

It's got a beautiful and busy medina with wind swept ramparts that were the scene of the 'Walk of Punishment' in Astapor in Game of Thrones.

A place with amazing food that you can easily spend a few days or even weeks in.

It's also next door to the little town of Diabat - Famous for Jimi Hendrix never going there!

In this vlog I'll show you why you should be including Essaouira and Diabat on your Morocco itinerary.

    Alas, Essaouira has changed so much since the 70s. It’s now inundated, to put it mildly, with tourism. Most the little Berber shops and kiosks are now latte cafés and trinket shops. I used to camp off the beach which is now a five star hotel. The young , as this vlogger is, is oblivious to when traveling wasn’t visiting globalized tourist venues. The ramparts, by the way, was where Orson Welles filmed scenes from“Othello”. The sea off the ramp as is where my deceased friend Chris, an American novelist, and I sailed in his self made sailboat, drinking a few Stork beers. One of the deserted islands was once penal colony. And there is indeed a castle in the sand, between Diabet and Ess. It was a sultan’s palace now half submerged at low tide and listing. Apparently, the song, Castles Made of Sand was written before he arrived but it is fitting and perhaps prophetic.

    Posiblemente una de las ciudades mas bonitas de Marruecos. Cada año acabo en ella mis escapadas por el pais...
