Essaouira has long been known as the most bohemian town in Morocco with local guys in dreadlocks peddling stories to impressionable backpackers about the visit of Jimi Hendrix in 1969. It’s a great place to hang out and is home to the Gnaoua World Music Festival which has a program of big concerts but also Moroccan gnaoua musicians jamming in the streets.
