El Jadida, Morocco

Another fortified Atlantic Coast town, at least the old city.  Only, unlike Essaouira, this is not a tourist destination — strictly Moroccan. The only Church I saw in Morocco was here, a 16th century structure built by Portuguese settlers designated as a Unesco sight.  It has a beautiful and unusual chandelier.  The fortified sea walls are like a promenade now, and our hotel was just a few steps from the Church, a one time ambassador’s residence.

What a terrific trip!
