Essaouira thrives on sardine fishing. Former Mogador of the Portuguese era, it is built on a rocky peninsula. At the port, you can still see carpenters building boats. Crenellated ramparts overlook the ocean. Romantics love to spend time here and in the numerous outside cafes, inside the blue Medina and on the beach, which stretches for more than 4 miles. Off the coast, on the island, pairs of hawks and sea gulls thrive by the thousands.
