      Marrakesh โ€“ Essaouira

      Departure at 8 oโ€™clock in the morning when the driver will come to fetch you from whichever riad or hotel you might be staying in. You will take the motor-way, passing thousands of Morocco-specific argane trees on the way to this blue and white, very individual, sea-side town and port. Essaouira is many touristsโ€™ darling! Previously known as Mogador to the Portuguese inhabitants, it is a charming place, well- known for local handicrafts, especially thuja wood furniture, carving and small artefacts, sold in innumerable shops along the windy streets.

      At the sea front, the customer chooses a selection of freshly caught fish to have prepared on the spot.

      Essaouira has a favourable micro-climate; mild in winter and cool in summer, although frequently windy, which makes it very popular among surfers.The night is spent in a riad.

      continue south to Tiznit, the town famous for its silver jewelry. From here we turn towards the sea and take

      the particularly beautiful coastal road to Sid Ifni. This is a little neat blue and white town with a distinctly

      Spanish feel to it. It takes its name from a local holy man and was the capital of the Ait Baโ€™arame tribe

      This work of art has proved very controversial; people choosing to wonder at it, question its existence and to despise it. It is certainly an individual and โ€œotherโ€ piece of art. We then set out northwards

      continuing to follow the spectacular road which the Ait Baha river to the town of the same name. Later we turn right towards Taroudant, โ€œthe little Marrakeshโ€, so called for the similarity of its ramparts and town
