All right, let’s get back into & finish up this Morocco trip!
On our way up from Agadir to Casablanca, we spent a night in Essaouira, and then drove through Safi and El Jadida.
This was a nice drive, by the water and everything.
We stopped for a night in Essaouira, and it was fine.
It was a little more crowded than some other places, I think because it’s the ‘famous beach town’ of Morocco.
I did enjoy walking around the medina – which was a little more open and spacious, and less crowded than some other medinas.
There were some really delicious crepes there, so that was very cool. And I met a couple of nice people – the guy making the crepes, and the guy selling a painting.
The vibe was relaxed. And the people were very nice (as they were through most of Morocco).
So, Essaouira was fine and cool, and I would never discourage someone from going there.
But! I dunno, I think because of how it was presented to me as like the beach town, I was expecting something so special.
..Though in my opinion, I really thought El Jadida was a better beach town!
Clean. Not too crowded. Laid back. Beautiful. Walkable. That’d be my pick. Well… my pick actually is Tangier. But we’ll get more into that later haha.
We ended this little portion of the drive in Casablanca.
And this is where I’ll pick up tomorrow!
