The Boats Belong to the Gulls

Essaouira, Morocco, is known for its striking white sea walls, Portuguese architecture, and sea gulls. No matter how well the fishing boats are cleaned, the gulls search them for any forgotten leftover.

  • Essaouira, Morocco, is largely a creation of the Portuguese, a heritage that is expressed in both the city's architecture and fising boats.
  • Essaouira, Morocco, is a glistening white harbor town where there is no escaping the gulls. Rumor has it that the inspiration for "The Birds" came during a visit here. I have no doubt that is true, since they are truly fearless, flying straight at anyone who disturbs the peace by, say, waiting for the sun to set.
