Salt sharpens the air as the vehicle eases onto the coastal road and Essaouira’s low white-and-blue walls appear against the Atlantic. Walkable, breezy and resolutely maritime, the town opens with a working harbor where fishermen haul nets and gulls jockey for scraps, then funnels visitors into a compact medina threaded with art shops and wind-scoured alleys.
