What is the Festival des Andalousies Atlantiques?
The Festival des Andalousies Atlantiques celebrates Andalusian music and the shared musical heritage of Muslims and Jews in Morocco. Since 2003 it has brought orchestras, singers and flamenco artists from Morocco, Spain and elsewhere to Essaouira for a long weekend of concerts and morning talks.
When it takes place
Time of the year: late October. Length: three days. The organisers announce the exact dates and the programme of each edition: check them on the official site of the event before you book flights and rooms, then book the transfer for the same dates.
Where it takes place in Essaouira
The concerts are held indoors, at Dar Souiri in the medina and in a large hall set up for the evening concerts outside the walls. Talks and forums are held in the morning in the medina.
Getting to Essaouira for the Festival des Andalousies Atlantiques
Most visitors land at Marrakech Menara Airport and continue by road. The taxi from Marrakech Airport to Essaouira takes about 2 h 45 for 190 km and costs from 65 € per car: the driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name and takes you to your address in Essaouira, or to the nearest gate if you stay inside the medina. If you land at Essaouira Airport, the transfer to the town takes 20 minutes. Flights to Agadir Airport and Casablanca Airport are the other two ways in.
By road from the other cities, per car and one way:
- Marrakech to Essaouira: 65 €.
- Agadir to Essaouira: 75 €.
- Casablanca to Essaouira: 165 €.
- Agafay desert to Essaouira: 90 €.
On the days of the event
The medina venues are reached on foot from the gates: the driver stops at Bab Sbaa or Bab Marrakech. For the evening concerts in the hall outside the walls the car can stop close to the entrance. The festival is smaller than the Gnaoua weekend and the roads stay open.
Good to know
- Seats for the evening concerts are limited. Arrive early, and plan the transfer so that you are in Essaouira by late afternoon.
- Late October is a quiet season on the Marrakech road: the drive is easy and takes under three hours.
- Travelling as a group? See the sizes on the our cars page, and all prices on the price list.
