AGADIR
Agadir es una ciudad hermosa y única que combina tradición, una historia interesante y bulevares bordeados de palmeras. Durante el terremoto de 1960, solo sobrevivieron tres edificios: una mezquita, un cine y la alcazaba. Agadir fue reconstruida a 3 km al sur de la ciudad antigua. La ciudad se vuelve más popular cada año gracias a sus tranquilas playas, amplias avenidas, florecientes jardines y magnífico puerto.
Antes del terremoto Agadir también era llamada 'Santa Cruz' o 'La Miami de África'.
Algunas de las actividades en Agadir son: Souk el Hadad, Marina, La Kasbah y El puerto.
TAMRAGHT
Tamraght es un pequeño pueblo situado a solo 15 km al norte de Agadir y a unos 5 km al sur de Taghazout.
Junto con Aourir, Tamraght es más conocido como el Pueblo Plátano. Oued Tamraght separa ambos pueblos y el nombre proviene de los plataneros que bordean el río.
Los dos pueblos comparten la playa Banana, que es ideal para surfistas principiantes.
Tamraght es un tranquilo pueblo bereber situado a los pies de la montaña, pero a un tiro de piedra del Atlántico, famoso sobre todo por los surfistas.
LAS CONDICIONES
Tamraght tiene un clima templado oceánico subtropical. El invierno ofrece días cálidos, noches frescas y escasas precipitaciones. En verano, el clima es cálido, pero sin excesos ni lluvias.
El clima, la consistencia del oleaje y las largas curvas derechas hacen que Tamraght sea un lugar agradable para visitar durante todo el año.
