BEAUTIFUL COASTAL DRIVE TO AGADIR

After a typical Moroccan breakfast on the beach near Tharazout, we continued our trip South-wards towards Agadir, following the coastal road.  The landscape became more and more beautiful as we advanced. More hilly, covered with bushes, shrubs, Argan  and Olive trees.

Halfway we turned off the road to take a track that continued for quite some kilometers. Again the surroundings were breathtaking but there was one downside to it all: the coastal fog was hiding the view over the ocean from the cliffs we were driving on… the lady at the restaurant yesterday had warned us for this. The Agadir area almost always has fog during the whole morning .

We found a camping 27 km north of Agadir, on the coast. This time no hotelrooms but real basic camping for a change! We seem to be the only foreigners here as many Moroccans are preparing for Ramadan in 2 weeks and thus they are taking time off. 

Once our camp was up and the sun was setting we decided to see if we could find a cold beer and a glass of Rose… not an easy task here! We ended up at this very chic Hotel! We weren’t quite dressed for the occasion and apparently our shoes and slippers were too dusty as our footsteps were mopped up right after us when dad returned inside to look for a toilet!

Nevertheless, we had a beautiful view over the ocean, local music and what we were looking for to drink!!  What a treat to have a chilled Rose after a couple of days of drinking water …

Cheers!!
