Crenellated walls, the breath of the trade winds, houses with white and blue facades, the color of the foam and the waves, Essaouira, the ancient Mogador is the "Bride of the Atlantic".
It is one of those coastal towns where a relaxed lifestyle and water activities complement each other. We walk there quietly, in the shadow of its ramparts, the very ones which outline the contours of Astapor, the red city from the series “Game of Thrones”. We climb these walls, we take the walkway: from there, we can see the Purpuraires Islands, the hawks, the seagulls and the gulls which hover above this nature reserve. In the distance, surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts can't get enough of the quality of the wind!
Then, step by step, the walk leads to the fishing port where the sailors come alive; not far from there, the fish market where you can taste fish and seafood caught that night. In the center, the medina unfolds the interlacing of its streets. Among the most beautiful in Morocco, it is classified by UNESCO. Finally, every summer, the city is bathed in music: the Gnaoua festival is held there, which celebrates Afro-North African rhythms.
To welcome you, the Mogador eco-resort opens its doors to you. For several years now, Morocco has adopted responsible tourism and this establishment contributes to this ambition, as do the surrounding beaches with the Blue Flag label, a guarantee of their quality.
We rest there, we exert ourselves there, we cultivate there: the captivating Essaouira-Mogador is a destination with a thousand and one possibilities!
