Essaouira Review

The Old Town of Sovila is a thousand-year-old ancient city of North Africa, built by the sea, and has been a must-see place for soldiers since ancient times. The ancient city is full of old buildings and ancient streets. There are many craft shops that gather local characteristics. You can go shopping and buy some small gifts. It is very meaningful to stay for a memorial.

It has been a tourist destination for hundreds of years, but fortunately it still retains its original atmosphere of life and does not change because of the large number of tourists. On the way, no one will disturb you except those who are eager to provide you with camel rentals.

[City Wall] The khaki yellow city wall is the old city. Maybe because it is close to the sea, the city wall is particularly high, and you can see the city wall in a few steps. Unlike the old city of Fez, Shavan, Marrakech, it seems to be wandering inside, and you can't meet the city wall. [Alley] It feels very simple. The main street sells a lot of life, such as morning snacks, daytime soup and juice, as well as meat stalls and vegetable stalls; the side street is mainly selling souvenirs. The small alleys linking the two are mostly narrow, and I am afraid of going wrong. [Graffiti] Maybe more idle foreigners from Sovira, graffiti is more artistic than other Medina, combining the strong contrast color used in Africa, and forming a huge contrast with the blue and white walls.

ESSAOUIRA, 索维拉，位于摩洛哥西南部大西洋沿岸的一个仅七万人口的海滨城市，在阿拉伯语里，它的意思是“优美如画”。这是一块布满历史沧桑的地方，五千年里，先后被柏柏尔人、腓尼基人和罗马人统治过，被葡萄牙人占领过，最后也被法国人殖民过，如今的老麦地那里，这座融合了欧洲和非洲建筑风格的小小城市，白色和蓝色才是它永远的主题。白色房子和蓝色门窗，粉饰一新或是斑驳剥落，错杂的小巷里闹哄哄的集市，街上售卖的彩色斑斓的手工艺品，广场上各种肤色和国籍的人们安静地喝着咖啡，这里，有一种莫名久违的历史融合感。当然，相信对于每一个来这里的人而言，让人印象最深刻且最喜欢的，应该莫过于那个接近10公里长的沙滩了，港口处的起点狭小，但只要往前走一段路，便会豁然开朗，沙滩马上变得宽阔而壮丽。清晨，就在RYAD的天台上，静静望着城市上空摇弋而过的白色海鸥，满满一台子丰盛的摩洛哥式早餐，就这样开始一天，真好！BONJOUR, ESSAOUIRA!
