Agadir
// April 20th, 2008 // Morocco, Transatlantic Nov'07
Next up after Casablanca was Agadir, Morocco. There’s really not too much to Agadir except for a beautiful beach area lined with restaurants and cafes. It’s a small city dedicated to its beach. There are no real historical sites, except for a wall from the old fortress. Everything was pretty much wiped out in 1960 by an earthquake.
Originally a couple friends and I had discussed trying to visit Taroudannt, but decided it was a little too far (about 2:30 hr drive) from the ship. Instead we hired a taxi for a quick tour around town and then a stop at the beach front to have a look around. I recommend just going straight to the beach and spend a few hours there. Have a nice lunch, and if it’s warm enough enjoy the sun and sand.
