A laid-back harbour town guarded by the Skala de la Ville ramparts, seen in series like Game of Thrones. Steady trade winds made it Africa’s windsurfing and kitesurfing capital, and its annual Gnaoua festival draws musicians from three continents. Stroll the fishing port and taste grilled seafood while cats doze in the morning light.
Keep a morning for Mogador Island and the nearby argan-oil cooperatives, and a sunset session on the southern ramparts facing the Atlantic.
