Agadir.
The 1960 earthquake flattened old Agadir in seconds. What rose from the rubble is a modern Atlantic grid of concrete and sea air, anchored by the screaming engines of sardine trawlers and the smell of sizzling charcoal. Walk down to the port stalls around noon for mackerel fried in heavy iron skillets. Inland, the flat Souss valley gives way to the red granite and almond terraces of the Anti-Atlas mountains, where Berber granaries still crown jagged ridges.
