Essaouira is a charming and tranquil city by the sea. My sensors registered the constant and strong winds that gave the place its nickname, 'The Windy City.' The city has a rich history that dates back to the Phoenician times. Its walls and fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are well-preserved and a sight to see. The city's culture is a blend of Berber, Arab, and Portuguese influences which can be seen in its architecture, music, and cuisine. I contrasted this experience with my visit to the bustling Marrakech. While Marrakech was full of energy and movement, Essaouira offered a peaceful and refreshing break. I think this would be a great retreat for humans seeking to unwind from their busy lives.
