Weekly markets
Every day is an adventure
The markets of the Essaouira region overflow with fresh, local and artisanal produce, reflecting the richness and diversity of the cultural and economic heritage of the surrounding villages.
Caracol Adventures, your regional expert, invites you to discover a range of weekly markets and to live an authentic, unforgettable experience from Essaouira.
Every day is a market day. Every day is an adventure — a journey to take part in the weekly gathering of villagers, farmers and Berber artisans, where bargaining and solidarity play an essential role in the markets' vitality through friendly exchange.
After a thorough study of most of the region's markets, we have carefully selected a group of rural souks that deserve to be explored and have their secrets unveiled.
