Retail Therapy in Marrakech

Souk Shopping : Marrakech

Marrakech is up there as one of the craziest, loudest, most colourful, chaotic, beautiful, exhausting and intriguing cities we’ve ever visited. Hot and dusty (even in January when we’ve visited), it’s somewhere that we only do for a couple of days before escaping to the calmness of the coast, and the gorgeous Essaouira. You can […]

Winter in Essaouira

Winter in Essaouira

According to Lonely Planet – Winter is the time to get closer to the real Essaouira, when the wind howls at its strongest and the waves smash against the city’s defences… – and they are not wrong. Whilst the daytime temperature is still very pleasant – think a warm May day in the UK – […]

Le Patio, Essaouira

Le Patio, Essaouira

Located in the heart of the medina, Le Patio is highly recommended. Slightly more expensive than most restaurants in Essaouira, it is described as something sultry by Lonely Planet – a candlelit den with blood-red furnishings and a black mirror ball. Located on a side street – rue Moulay Rachid – off one of the […]

Colours of Morocco

Colour. The one thing that always strikes us about Morocco. Even on a rare, overcast day, it is a country filled with the most vibrant colours, hues and shades. Marrakech Menara airport has a cool, marble toned palette – perfect as you land in a heat that you rarely experience back in Manchester!   And, […]

Hotel Casa 1800

This hotel has been on my radar for some time. When we stayed in Seville, I was searching for accommodation and the Casa 1800 kept coming up in searches. We stayed elsewhere in Seville but I made a decision that the next time we visited Granada or Seville, we’d stay at 1800. (The hotels are […]

Moroccan Day Trip

It’s always great having friends in-the-know when you travel abroad, as they often give you top tips that you don’t find in guide-books or through internet searches. Because usually you don’t know about these places and so don’t search on them. One of these gems turned up on our recent trip to Essaouira, when we […]

A Northern Christmas

Christmas is always a beautiful time of the year to head up north. Whether it’s crisp & sunny, blowing a snowy blizzard or foggy & atmospheric, we’re always guaranteed good shots, photo-wise, simply because it’s such a photogenic part of the country. Here’s what we saw this Christmas… Cold, bracing and beautiful. A lovely way […]

Riad Mimouna

Riad Mimouna

This is riad is quite simply, stunning. Located right on the sea walls, and converted from a very grand 19th century residence, you just could not have a better place to stay in Essaouira. The entrance to the riad is breath-taking – hand carved thuya wooden ceilings, stained glass windows, mosaic tiled walls and floors, […]
