You arrive before the sun bleaches the red clay of the ramparts, and the road from Agadir threads cedar-studded ridges into a widening plain. Tiout’s palm-lined channels whisper as you step into shade; Taroudant’s city walls stand low and bold, daring you to move through their gateways into a market still run by families who know every spice and thread by eye.
