Ocean city, Atlas, Sahara? Sidi Ifni is one of those sweet cocktails like Southern Moroccan known offer.
Nestled on a cliff, the last vestige of the foothills of the Anti Atlas, it dominates the green blue of the Atlantic Ocean which it derives its main resources.
A strategic enclave :
The Sidi Ifni region is the birthplace and stronghold of Aït Baamrane, powerful famous Berber confederation of tribes throughout the southern Morocco for its struggle in the 1930s against both French than Spanish invaders and during the war of Ifni ' la guerra olvidada Spanish in 1957/1958.

Not until June 1969 to be finally qu'Ifni Moroccan and 2010 she releases the provincial supervisory Tiznit
A dispersed urban planning :
His Spanish years, it retains the colonial structure, a grid of streets and avenues leading to the central square oval, urban architecture whose buildings have kept the art deco style very popular in Spain of 1930.
The old cathedral converted into a tribunal, its presbytery became library, the old admiralty, lighthouse and many houses with trees and flowers gardens along the Mohammed V Avenue are always there to remind that time. Mecca of city life, instead Hassan II, former Plaza de España offers a splendid view of the ocean ...

It is facing the small island of El Gziral Lazgira on the beach, 10km north on the road to Mirleft, that surfers and windsurfers like to gather. This beach dressed natural arches created by ocean ebb and flow, is as much a place of rendezvous water, a privileged site or amateur anglers.
The last bastions of Atlas :
Its mountain side is very quickly felt as soon as you enter its hinterland. Anti Atlas to the Atlantic to the raging waves, delivers small mountains at low altitude. A semi arid environment already foreshadowing close regs Saharan while keeping the soul of these small traditional Berber villages perched on hillsides or hidden in tiny intimate valleys.
This is the gorge of Wadi Noun, the mouth generous hosts flamingos, turtles, herons who come hibernate or breed. A nice breath of fresh air in this canyon dotted with houses, almost steep sides, decorated with cultivated terraces. On a cliff overlooking the river, the old military fort French Bou Jerif always seems to watch over the tranquility of the surroundings.
