Adventure tips

Bring refillable waterCarry at least 1–2 liters; water bottles can be refilled at lunch but not reliably between stops.

Sun protectionWide-brim hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are necessary—the Atlantic winds don’t stop strong sun exposure.

Sturdy shoes for mixed terrainWear shoes that handle sand and short rocky stretches—flip-flops are insufficient for dune scrambles or village trails.

Photograph respectfullyAlways ask before photographing people in Berber villages and avoid drone use in protected areas without permission.

Recommended gear

Sturdy walking shoes: Firm soles and ankle support help on sand, rocky headlands and village lanes.
Reusable water bottle (1–2 L): Staying hydrated is critical during long coastal days and in hot inland stops.
Sun hat & UV sunglasses: Protects against strong coastal sun and reflected glare from sand and water.
Light layer or windbreaker: The Atlantic breeze can be cool, especially early morning and late afternoon.
