The coastal town of Essaouira in Morocco is a special place. Like most places in Morocco, it has a fortified wall around the central city. The coast has both sand and rock beaches and it is a major fishing port. A bit of music history, Jimi Hendrix spent some time here while in Morocco on the "Marrakesh Express", and this is where "Sand Castles in the Sky" was authored. I will be posting more on Moroc in the future. The place is rich with visuals, both graphic and architectural. I am also interested in their traditional construction methods and Tadelakt plaster-like finishes.
