The month in progress.
Once a month, we write. Never more, never less. What’s happening in these 30 days — no press filter, no marketing copy.

What happens in these 30 days
May is when the Atlantic turns comfortable. Essaouira at 22°C, Atlantic breeze, sea urchins at peak season. Marrakech still tolerable, the Sahara already tightening by day. Our focus this month: three simultaneous trips on the coast, two in the medina, one in the high Atlas. Zero cancellations, zero delays.
II
Requests this week
47 new requests received. Accepted for design: 12. Reserved for 2027: 18. Declined with explanation: 17. The most frequent reasons for declining this month: groups of more than 10, August dates for the Sahara, nightlife expectations. It’s not about you — it’s about the trip you asked for.
III
What we’re cooking
A new Driss tour in Fez for 2027 — this time through the hammered-copper workshops. We’re checking that Ali el Kebir can host 4 visits a year (no more). Lahcen has tested a quail tagine with Atlas verbena — if the next test works, it joins the June menu.
IV
What we turned down this week
A request from a Spanish public-TV production company to film a travel show using one of our trips as the basis. Refused in writing: our no-publication policy is the first promise we keep. A request from an international hotel to include us in their affiliate programme. Also refused: zero cross-commissions.
V
Reading of the month
Mohamed is rereading “El reino del muladí” by Antonio Gala (2003). The Reading list recommended it two years ago, but he’s gone back to it after a call with a traveller pondering the Andalusi imprint on Marrakech. We’ll add it to the May notebook.
Morocco isn’t pretty in May. It’s exact.
