You did a beautiful job with this little film.I used to live there 40 years ago and even though I can see some huge changes, you captured much of the 'feeling' that I remember so vividly. Thanks very much.

[@NowToulouse]

Thank you very much! We love this place and discovered it accidentally through the standard day trip from Marrakesh and we love going back in autumn especially.

I'm going to Essouira in September, I will visit Marrakesh first, then drive to Essouira and then to Agira. Thanks for the video from Barcelona 🇪🇸

Have fun! Sounds great - the road from Marrakech is quite good and you can see the tree goats without the touristy bit.

Excellente vidéo 🧔🏻ESSAOUIRA m’attire en tant que Retraité qui cherche une location longue durée ( 3 mois) mais que de quartiers… peu de tarifs de location d’un 60m2⁉️Alors, où sommes-nous de votre visite.. et peut-être pourrais-je avoir des renseignements , lieux location, tarifs pour Mer /Villes😘Merci d’avance, Travel🥰

[@NowToulouse]

Merci beaucoup - peut être s'abonner à un forum sur les locations à Essaouira sur FB ou autre pour plus de renseignements sur des locations, il y a aussi de bels endroits entre Essaouira et Taghazout à essayer. Je vais à Taghazout en novembre - hors saison c'est le mieux à mon avis.

You are not happy? What does that mean, please?
