I was sitting at the Buena Vista bar on the Mar Menor in Los Alcázares, with my friend Lisa having lunch and chatting about the different places we had both been. We started talking about going away together for a short trip to Marrakech, Morocco. Within a couple of days we had planned the trip, booked the trip and were going away within a couple of weeks.
Location: Los Alcázares, Spain to Marrakech, Morocco
Summary: This short break to Marrakech began with a smooth flight from Corvera and an easy arrival in the Medina, where our Riad became the base for exploring the city’s markets, historic alleys and vibrant street life.
Location: Marrakech, Morocco
Summary: A colourful day in Marrakech, Jardin Majorelle, the medina’s souks, cafés and narrow streets. A day of colour, noise, history and the small moments that make Marrakech unforgettable.
Location: Marrakech, Morocco
Summary: A hot‑air balloon flight over the desert, wandering through the medina, getting lost, haggling, resting in cafés, and soaking up the heat, colour and chaos of Marrakech. It was exhausting, unforgettable, and full of the small moments that make travelling here so special.
Location: Marrakech, Morocco
Summary: A relaxed morning followed by an unforgettable afternoon in the desert, riding camels, tearing across the sand on quad bikes, and ending the night with dinner, music and a fire show under the stars.
Location: Marrakech, Morocco & Los Alcázares, Spain
Summary: Our final morning in Marrakech was slow and relaxed before the journey back to Spain, a last breakfast in the Riad courtyard, a wander through the square, a slightly chaotic airport experience, and finally a stormy welcome home in Los Alcázares. It was the end of a brilliant trip, full of unforgettable moments, friendly people and experiences I’d happily return for.
