A low stone road climbs from Agadir's coastal plain and opens onto scrubbed slopes where goats pick and balance inside argan trees, their hooves finding purchase on branches that look too thin to hold them. The air carries a faint scent of salty Atlantic wind mixed with the nutty aroma of argan — a sensory shorthand for southern Morocco.
