 Day 4 - Agadir

In 1505 the tiny village of Agadir made its first mark on history. The Portuguese set up a trading post there, defended by the Santa Cruz fortress on Cap de Gue. Although a profitable endeavor, their stay was brief, as in 1541 they were ejected by the founder of the Saadian dynasty. A golden age then followed for Agadir, with ships arriving every day to take on cargos of sugar cane, dates, wax skins, oils, spices and gold. However, over the years Agadir went into decline and in 1960 it was destroyed by an earthquake. Today, Agadir has been reborn as a holiday capital. Constructed away from high risk areas using anti-seismic techniques, Agadir is an engaging town. The dormant white of its sculptural buildings is contrasted by the multi-colored flowers that adorn its tranquil gardens. Vacationers drink in the sea air, sitting at tables on the cafe terraces or strolling around the bazaars. While a little further away there is all the bustling activity surrounding the most important fishing port in Morocco, with its fleet of spruce trawlers bobbing up and down on the Atlantic swell.

 Day 5 - Las Palmas

Las Palmas, with a population of about 350,000, is the largest city in the archipelago, situated on the northeast tip of the island.
