WELCOME TO MOROCCO
Marrakech is the never ending, always itself re-inventing hotspot of Morocco. Many have said 'AMEN' about the potential of this place, but the energy of the red city seems to rejuvenate with every ray of sun.
Of course, other cities in Morocco are as beautiful, if not even more beautiful, but the attraction of Marrakech to the rest of the world does not seem to be over yet.
Every year, more people fall for the charm of this city that does not seem to make a choice of century, nor continent. Marrakech manages to balance between medieval and 21 century and at the same time has one foot in Europe while the other one is firmly rooted in Africa.
Having Marrakech and Essaouira as my homes, there are some accounts on Instagram that I really think capture the soul of Morocco. Here are my 2017 favourites!

RIAD DAR EL PACO ESSAOUIRA
 |
| Wandering the countryside around Essaouira, one might come across small Berber markets . |
For a long time I WAS admiring the instagram account of this riad. Until I recently discovered quite a few photos belonging to my accounts. This account uses photos found on the internet and doesn't even bother to credit them. When I asked to do this, they took ONE photo ( the one with the comment away)
Spending myself hours to find original sources (which I don't always succeed in) but when you copy from someones account, it can't be that hard to give a little credit...
I no longer support this place in any way.
