The Medina is so beautiful, mythological, old world, enchanting. When we first arrived we walked down the cobblestone alley and peered into a very small arched doorway with candlelight emanating from within. We would regularly get lost in the Medina, during the day it was a sensory delight of colours, smells and activity. By night it was mysterious and alluring, we would walk down a maze of small alleys until we found a doorway, pushed it open creakily and literally stepped into what appeared to be a castle in a fortified area of the Medina. Essaouira is a magical place that changed my life. I will hold it in my heart forever xo
