Skala du Port

Essaouira


This honey-coloured bastion looms over the picturesque harbour and its sea-blue fishing boats. Look back at the walled medina from here, through a curtain of screeching seagulls, and you’ll get the same evocative image of the city that appears on all the posters. It appeared as Astapor in Game of Thrones too.
