Agadir, Morocco: Historical Sunshine Mecca

Agadir in Morocco is located along North Africa's Atlantic coastline. Its cultural and historical ties lie predominantly with its relationships and conflicts with European nations.

Interested in the gold trade taking place between the sub Sahara and the north in the 1500s, Portuguese settlers built one of their first colonies known as Santa Cruz de Aguer. They profited from traders who made their way north into Fez or south towards Timbuktu along the trans-Saharan trade route.
