Story
Drive the long road south and let the town surprise you — Sidi Ifni, a former Spanish colonial outpost, wears its Art Deco façades and lighthouse above Atlantic cliffs like a half-forgotten European film set. Yellow-ochre buildings, ocean-view terraces and a quiet Spanish lilt give the place a mood found nowhere else on the Moroccan coast; the beaches below are broad, windy and popular with surfers in the know. This is for the slow road-tripper, the wave-chaser, the one who likes their towns faded and photogenic — facilities are modest, so come expecting character over polish. Even at the kingdom's far edge, Morocco holds a Spanish echo, proof that the same Atlantic washes more than one empire's stones.
