30 minutes we

Massira airport,
which Haj tells us many Europeans arrive in Morocco and go to
Agadir, which has many seaside resort hotels.We stop in Agadir at the
Royal Atals Hotel and Spa for a break, and then on to Resturant
Rugantino. Spaghetti Bolognaise and Pasta Fruti de Mar are a
departure from the traditional cuisine we have been
enjoying.kicc |
Back on the road, we view the harbor. Fishing boats
occupy the old part of the harbor, whereas the Morocccan navy and
cruise ship anchor in the newer part. At a photo op stop along the sea shore, we discover a group
of women who are roasting and cleaning freshly gathered mussels, which they
sell to the resort restaurants. We continue our journey, briefly stopping
for Haj to buy us some local bananas as an afternoon snack.
We arrive at the Hotel Des Iles in Essaouira, which is right
on the beach.
