Walking in Southern Morocco in the Spring, plus Marrakech

Spring comes early to southern Morocco and late February is ideal for walking, with warm sun and cool air temperatures, blossom on the terraces of almond trees and snow still gleaming on the peaks of the Atlas mountains.

Daily walks take us through groves of olive and argan trees, into oasis gardens and palm-filled gorges, and up and over low passes with extensive mountain views. We explore the walled towns of Tiznit, Taroudant and Essaouira and enjoy delicious tagines accompanied by good Moroccan wines. We begin our visit with a stay in a remarkable hotel converted from a French Foreign Legion Fort on the Morocco-Spanish Sahara border and finish in style, exploring Marrakech from a four-star boutique riad in the historic medina.
