31. Essaouira, Morocco: Coastal Breezes, Artistic Vibe & Gnaoua Rhythms

Escape to Essaouira, a captivating coastal walled city in Morocco, where bracing Atlantic breezes, a historic whitewashed medina (UNESCO site), and a vibrant Gnaoua music scene create a uniquely bohemian atmosphere. Less frenetic than Marrakesh, Essaouira offers a relaxed pace, incredibly fresh seafood straight from the bustling port, stunning sunsets over the Skala de la Ville ramparts, and a haven for windsurfers and artists. The cost of living is very reasonable, allowing for a comfortable lifestyle filled with strolls, Browse artisan thuya wood crafts, and enjoying the town’s distinctive blue-shuttered charm.
