You buy fresh fish at the port and are taken to a restaurant to be prepared. Paying - It is worth visiting Essaouria, but you only have 4 hours to be there.The bad thing is that it takes 5 hours to travel. Our guide in Spanish a crack called Ismail made us very enjoyable the displacement talking about the important of the area and clarifying doubts. Both he and the driver were ten. We will certainly repeat

Transportation to essaouria - We had a lovely experience. Although we went in December the weather was nice and warm. Our driver saaed was really kind and considerate in making our journey smooth and enjoyable with regular breaks and check ups. He drove really efficiently and safe. The price was also very reasonable.

Essaouira - The guide Younis, was interesting and fun. Essaouira was lovely and well worth visiting. We also found the trip to the women's cooperative to be interesting and they obviously enjoyed working together on the argan oil products. We stopped to see some goats, thankfully not cruelly stuck up on trees, which were roaming near the argan bushes with the women shepherds.
