Massa.
The air changes twenty miles south of Agadir. The concrete resorts vanish, replaced by red dirt tracks, irrigated alfalfa plots, and the wide brackish lagoon of the Oued Massa. Here, the rare northern bald ibis stalks the mudflats while fishermen haul sea bass into hand-carved cliff caves at Sidi Rbat. You come here for quiet walks along the river mouth, fresh sardines roasted over charcoal, and the slow pace of a traditional Souss Berber river valley.
