Essaouira

Even whilst sunning oneself in December it is important to keep abreast of the latest financial news.

Essaouira - back to the sea makes me remember how nice it is in Looe. Sun, sand, surf and a pleasant no hassle medina. The food here is nicer and cheaper than Marrakech.

Took 3 hours by CTM from Marrakech, but we should have gone with Supratour as it is cheaper and the bus station is right next to the medina. The 'local' bus, from Bab Doukala is cheaper than both but they will try to charge you too much for the ticket and too much for your luggage, so you need to be confident,  assertive and know how much the proper price is.
