Shivering in Siberian temperatures this week, warmer climes are calling. With a whole new year of annual leave possibilities awaiting, what will be top of the mini breaks in 2015? With a new direct flight route from London in May, my money’s on Essaouira on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Blissfully free from the snake charmers and hard-sell henna ladies of neighbouring Marrakech, Essaouira offers a bohemian costal sanctuary where artists and musicians rub along peacefully with fishermen and the world’s loftiest goats.
