It's Ida Ouazza, near Smimou.

I found it so beautiful that I posted the photos twice!

I think when you're under the spell of a place, you take better photos. You're "inspired".

Great job and thanks for this interesting travel journal!



A few more views of Tafedna, a small port with a soul all its own. Boats and donkeys share the beach.

We had an excellent night in our cozy room where everything was well thought out.

It's quiet. The riad is at the end of an alley. No traffic. And you won't hear the muezzin before 7:30 AM... So, it's not a problem!



When we arrived in the dining room for breakfast, we realized there were other tourists! We thought we were alone, it was so quiet! We sat down around a generously set table in a warm and carefully decorated setting.

After enjoying this lovely spread, we left the riad on foot toward the medina. We walked along the beach. A few families were strolling, some joggers running along the seafront...

We ventured deeper into the medina, stopping to admire all these beautiful doors!





We admired the sea from the top of the ramparts! It felt like we were in Saint-Malo!



We wandered a bit through the shops... there’s no shortage of them!

And we settled on the terrace at the Essalam restaurant. Full menu for 55 DH. It was decent. We were happy to sit down for a while and watch the passersby. At that time of day, there were lots of tourists.

Around 3 PM, we headed toward the port. Few fishermen and little activity except for the loading of fishing nets onto the large boats... Maybe we arrived a bit late.



But what magnificent fish stalls!



We spotted a small boat returning to the port and went closer to see if the catch was good. And then... surprise... The boat wasn’t big, but the fish were enormous: sharks and a beautiful swordfish!

Essaouira was supposed to be the starting point of my spring trip. This travel journal takes me on a journey in its own way too. Can't wait to do more!

I think Saint-Malo is twinned with Essaouira. If I'm wrong, don't hesitate to correct me.

Yes, I think Essaouira and St Malo are twinned. Doesn’t surprise me!

Following Nadia and Thierry’s advice, we had dinner at Chez Sayef in the medina—lovely setting, charming welcome, and inventive cuisine. Total satisfaction. Lots of well-prepared fish dishes, but not just that... And excellent desserts: profiteroles, apple crumble... Delicious!

We took a taxi back to town: in Essaouira, it’s 7 MAD for a daytime ride and 8 MAD at night!

The next day, after a royal breakfast, we headed back to the medina, but this time to explore the market and daily life. It was great! A whole different side of the city!







Then, we took a sweet break at Driss’s place—a baker and pastry chef with a passion for art—and headed back to our riad along the beach under gorgeous sunshine!



Much-needed rest in our cozy little haven, nice and quiet.
