23 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and we are parked by the lagoon in Oualidia (pronounced wah-leed-ya) a small almost sleepy, if that adjective can be used to describe any town in Morocco, fishing village between El Jadida and Essaouria. Famous for fresh seafood and for oysters, the latter delight we will be trying before we leave.
As soon as we arrived near the beach, we were pounced on by a couple of guys who it transpires are the local guardian and a local fisherman. The guardians are in my opinion a vital part of travel by motorhome. There is no official camp site here, so they get a piece of waste ground or parking spot, and give 24 hr security for a very small fee. We sleep safe and they get a couple of pounds. The former is a fisherman who for 150 dirham, about £13 pounds, will cook fresh seafood outside on a portable grill. As much sole, sardines, salad and bread as you can eat for two for a very reasonable price.
We are going for a walk to the lagoon later to see if the broad sand is suitable for Sandyachting, although from a distance it looks a little soft. Here is a piccy I just took from the roof of the van looking over towards the town.
Another piccy of the fisherman preparing our lunch!
He has a website HERE
Here is a nice little texting tool that I came across.
Love and peace

Such enterprise to have a website! Take care in the big towns. People are nice but they charge.
