In Essaouira (Es'-ah-weh'-ra)
Bright blue skiffs nuzzle Essaouira's 18th century ramparts overlooking the Atlantic Ocean
Al-Jimal have made their way to the charming Atlantic coastal town of Essaouira where they'll spend the next few days. With its own UNESCO World Heritage-minted medina, impressive ramparts, and a mellow vibe attracting artists and musicians, the group will have plenty to absorb at a leisurely, seaside pace. Surfing lessons are on tap for tomorrow in this self-proclaimed "Windsurfing Capital of Africa."
