The argan tree [Argania spinosa] is a spontaneous and xerophilous species endemic to the Western region of Morocco on a small strip of arid land between the Atlantic coast and the Atlas Mountains.(around Essaouira, Marrakech, Taroudant, Tafraout, Agadir until Sidi Ifni). The fruit’s pulp is what attracts the goats to the argan trees.Those climbing goats can be seen during day trips from Agadir to Marrakech.

Good afternoon TUMBLR - March 9th - 2024

''Mr. Plant has owed me a shoe since July 5, 1971."

Ch. XI.3 - Morocco - 1989 - 1991

TAROUDANT - MARRAKECH

Like every year, at the end of the Holy month of Ramadan there were the festive days of Eid el Fitr. Officially lasting two days, but infact we could count in a week of rest.

The trains, the CTM (La setième in local language) and the collective Grand Taxis - generally old Mercedes or Pegeot 504s that connected the various cities of Morocco, increased ticket prices based on the proximity of the Eid date. The workers began to ''flee'' in the days preceding the festival, with the excuse of the long journeys they had to face to reach their places of origin (mon bled) and the scarcity of means of transport.

We decided to spend the holiday visiting Taroudant and than Marrakesh. Taroudant, a town about 80 km from Agadir, is known as the "Grandmother of Marrakech" because it looks like a smaller Marrakech with its surrounding ramparts. In the 16th century, the Saadi dynasty briefly used Taroudant as its capital before moving its royal seat to Marrakesh. Today, the town has the feel of a small walled market town on a caravan route.

We stayed overnight in a beautiful Arab-style hotel, with lush gardens and a beautiful swimming pool right next to the ocher walls that surround the city, 8 km long. I remember that Andrea had a lot of fun in that pool, and when it was time to leave it he stung his hands and feet because he didn't want to go.

The next day, after having studied the road map (GOOGLE MAP did not yet exist) we decided to leave for Marrakesh, even passing through the legendary Tizi n'Tichka (literally ''pasture pass''), a pass that rises to the considerable altitude of 2,260 meters and which, crossing the High Atlas, connects the Taroudant valley with Marrakech. At its peak you can admire the highest peak in North Africa, Mount Toubkal 4,167 meters high (from the Berber Tugg Akal the ''One who looks down on the Earth'').

It was a trip that I remember with particular pleasure for the wild beauty of the places we crossed. At a certain point, after long kilometers of descent full of hairpin bends, Marrakech appeared in the light of the sunset, further accentuating the red-ochre color of its walls and ancient buildings. We spent a couple of days in Old Capital in a nice hotel which I think today is called Ryad Mogador, and then we returned to Agadir.

TAFRAOUT

After some time had passed since the failed visit to the caves, Bozon tried to try to regain some credit. He therefore proposed a trip to us which first consisted of a stop in Tiznit - about a hundred kilometers south of Agadir, and then an overnight stay in Tafraout, an inland town.

Tiznit is a small Berber city, famous above all for its artisans who work with silver and steel to make jewellery, swords, inlaid knives, a whole variety of beautiful objects which are made in the traditional way in the kasbah's workshops.

In addition to the three of us, Bozon, my colleague Alfio and his wif, who recently arrived from Italy, were taking part in the 2-day excursion.

After the pleasant visit to Tiznit, we headed towards Tafraout, at a distance of about 100 kilometers, deep on Berber territory. A winding but well-maintained mountain road, with a pass at 1,230 meters above sea level, where a wealthy Berber trader who emigrated to France built a large hotel. The hotel was visible from far away, surrounded as it is by the ocher of the bare mountains. Stubborn date palms grow here and there.

Hotel Kerdous - Tafraout, Morocco

Tafroute is renowned for the cultivation of almonds, the basic fruit for many traditional Moroccan pastry desserts.

About 8 km from Tafroute there is the famous area of the painted rocks. Jean Verame, a Belgian artist, brought in 19 tons of paint of various colors in the late 1980s and than painted the rocks with the help of local people.

And that's where we spent the day, on a sort of plateau surrounded by large, colorful granite rocks, some used like a primary school notebook, with black rods on a white background or vice versa. At a certain point, however, here is the usual unexpected event of the day: this time it is offered to us by Alfio who, as sea man, thinks he can transforming himself into a boulder free climber. Without saying a word to anyone (what Sardinian would he be if he spoke to someone about his intentions?) having chosen a rock he began to climb it. Till to the point of no return, in the sense that at about 15 - 20 meters from the ground he no longer knew how to go up or come down. Mrs. Curreli, having noticed her husband's impasse, began at first to shout at her husband nasty insults (which we did not understand the meaning, given that they were pronounced in strict Sardinian) then with suggestion on how to get down from the uncomfortable position.

- Hang on there……put your foot lower……be careful not to fall…idiot '' Alfio, poor thing, was in a panic, and we all could see it from the tremor that shooked his legs and feet, resting on the precarious rock's niches. Bozon and I were amused at first, but we start to be worry when we saw that the situation was becoming critical. We therefore made sure to get up as close as possible to Alfio, to comfort him and suggest the best way to get off. In the meantime I asked Mrs. Curreli to stop shouting. In short, after a series of maneuvers while telling encouraging words - ''come on, you're doing well…. like this…. like that …slowly…no worry …'' we managed to bring Alfio back to the ground. The guy, once lying on the lawn, had a sort of fainting spell, which did not prevent his wife from hurling yet another series of insults at him.......

We returned to Agadir via the R105 national road, a good road passing through Ait Baha, with breathtaking views of the Anti-Atlas.

GULF WAR It was August 2, 1990 and na ews shocked the entire World: Iraq, with a surprising offensive launched during the night, had invaded neighboring Kuwait!! Morocco, a moderate Arab country, assumed an equidistance position on the conflict through a televised speech by His Majesty Hassan II. A moderation action through privileged diplomatic channels was matched by concern about the protection of the Holy Places of Mecca and Medina - currently not directly affected by the conflict. Morocco in any case sent a symbolic contingent of 1,500 soldiers, after the agreement with Saudi Arabia, to defend Mecca and Medina in the event of an attack. The tension was felt throughout Morocco, with demonstrations by the population in open support of Saddam. Even in the site offices, Moroccans showed open support for Saddam, in open contrast to the official positions of the Government. There were also a couple of curious episodes, due to the fact that my Range Rover still had the red license plate of Bahrain, a Gulf Emirate which for obvious reasons since the beginning of the conflict had sided with Kuwait and the nascent coalition led from the USA. One day I stopped at a petrol station to fill up with petrol, and the guy addressed me with phrases in Arabic and French, making me understand that ''there was no fuel for the traitors of the Iraqi brothers''!! I finally managed to make him understand that I was not Bahraini, but Italian, that I had bought the car years ago there– and so I got the petrol. Another unpleasant episode happened a few days later – after a breakfast at the restaurantJardin d'Eau. I was leaving the place, and fortunately M. David accompanied me. A crowd of youngster were kicking the my car for the same reason: they had seen the Bahrain license plate and believed that the ''traitors of the great leader Saddam needed to be taught a lesson''!! David managed to bring them to their senses, making them feel ashamed for what they were doing to a car belonging to a ''Respectable Italian engineer working at the New Aeroport d'Agadir''!! In any case, the Gulf War had already generated a phenomenon that, at the time, I couldn't understand: all the foreign tourists had suddenly disappeared from Agadir (and I presumed from all over Morocco), causing the closure of hotels, restaurants and travel agencies. And of all the consequences that the presence of foreigners set in motion. The reason behind this was that since Morocco is an Arab country, people believe it could somehow become involved in the conflict at any moment. Hence all foregneirs fled a country situated 5,000 km away from the war front! We therefore arrived in a state of high tension on January 15, 1991, when His Majesty King Hassan II spoke to the world and to the nation, in a heartfelt message to "brother Saddam", clearly saying that his was "the last appeal before the possible catastrophe''. We therefore understood that the time for the American attack was imminent, and in fact during the night the bombers of the Coalition of 39 countries attacked Kuwait and Iraq simultaneously. My Boss, Alfonzo, based on the instructions received from the Company headquarters, ordered us not to move from home. And for three long days it was like thas: a grave silence had descended over the city - only the police of Gendarmerie Nationale circulated the streets, even if officially the Authorities had not declared any restrictions on free movement. One of the statements that made us understand the Moroccans' state of mind towards us materialized following the shooting down and capture of an Italian Tornado fighter. Some people were waiting for us that day at the entrance to the site offices, and welcomed us saying:  ''Nous avons abattue un de vos jet'' (We shot down one of your jets) A somewhat grotesque statement, if we consider that Morocco did not participate in the war - and therefore that ''we'' meant total adherence to the Iraqi cause, seen as Pan-Arab and against the American Imperialists and their allies.

Amazigh il Marocco e le sue tante anime

Amazigh in Marocco è una parola molto importante, ricca di storia. E' il cuore della cultura berbera. La cultura di un antichissimo popolo del Maghreb, che è arrivato fino ai giorni nostri vivendo una vita semplice tra artigianato e agricoltura. Cosa vuol dire Amazigh? La parola "Amazigh" è un termine che viene utilizzato per indicare gli antichi popoli autoctoni del Nord Africa, noti anche come "Berberi". La parola "Amazigh" significa "uomo libero" o "uomo nobile" nella lingua berbera. I Berberi sono un gruppo etnico che ha una lunga storia e una ricca cultura che si è sviluppata nell'area del Maghreb (che include Marocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libia e parti del Sahara occidentale) per oltre 4.000 anni. Oggi costituiscono una parte importante della popolazione del Nord Africa e sono presenti in Paesi come Marocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libia e altri. Dove vivono i Berberi in Marocco? I Berberi vivono in diverse parti del Marocco, ma sono concentrati principalmente nelle zone montuose e nelle regioni rurali del paese. Alcune delle regioni berbere più famose del Marocco includono le montagne dell'Atlante, l'Anti-Atlante, il Rif e l'Oriente del paese. Nelle zone montuose del Marocco, i berberi vivono in villaggi tradizionali di case in pietra o fango, chiamati "ksar" o "kasbah". Questi villaggi spesso si trovano in posizioni strategiche sulla cima delle colline o nelle valli strette, e spesso sono circondati da mura per protezione. Ci sono inoltre molte città in Marocco con una forte presenza berbera, come ad esempio Taroudant, Ouarzazate, Tafraout e Agadir. Anche a Marrakech, una delle città più famose del Marocco, ci sono quartieri berberi, come il quartiere di Targa. Che origini hanno i Berberi? Le origini dei Berberi sono state oggetto di studio da parte di molti ricercatori e storici, ma non c'è un consenso unanime su dove esattamente avessero avuto origine. Tuttavia, la maggior parte degli studiosi concorda sul fatto che i Berberi siano un gruppo etnico autoctono del Nord Africa, con radici che risalgono a migliaia di anni fa. Alcuni ricercatori sostengono che i Berberi siano discendenti degli antichi abitanti del Nord Africa, che risalgono almeno al periodo neolitico, quando le popolazioni autoctone dell'Africa del Nord erano principalmente cacciatori-raccoglitori. Altri invece suggeriscono che i Berberi abbiano radici in Asia, con l'arrivo di popolazioni provenienti dall'attuale Medio Oriente che si mescolarono con le popolazioni autoctone. Indipendentemente dalle loro origini, i Berberi hanno subito numerose influenze culturali lungo la storia, tra cui quelle dei Fenici, dei Romani, degli Arabi e dei Francesi, che hanno lasciato il loro segno nella loro lingua, cultura e religione. Che differenza c'è tra Arabi e Berberi? Gli Arabi e i Berberi sono due gruppi etnici distinti che vivono in Africa del Nord. Sebbene abbiano diverse differenze culturali e linguistiche, ci sono anche molte sovrapposizioni e interazioni tra le due comunità. Una delle principali differenze tra gli Arabi e i Berberi è la loro lingua. Gli Arabi parlano l'arabo, una lingua semitica che è stata diffusa in Africa del Nord dopo la conquista araba del VII secolo, mentre i Berberi parlano la lingua berbera, una lingua afroasiatica autoctona dell'Africa del Nord. Inoltre, gli Arabi hanno una forte presenza religiosa, essendo in maggioranza musulmani sunniti, mentre i Berberi sono divisi tra il Cristianesimo, l'Islam sunnita e lo Sciismo. Gli Arabi e i Berberi hanno, inoltre, tradizioni e costumi distinti. Gli Arabi hanno una cultura urbana, con una lunga storia di letteratura, filosofia, musica e danza, mentre i Berberi hanno tradizioni rurali e nomadi, con una forte connessione alla natura e all'agricoltura. Entrambi i popoli, però, risentono di molte influenze culturali e storiche, e spesso si sono mescolati e integrati nel corso dei secoli, creando così una cultura unica e diversificata nell'Africa del Nord.

Maroc, circuit Atlantique et Anti-Atlas

S’il est un moment exceptionnel pour voyager au Maroc, c’est bien le Printemps. Surtout si, comme cette année, les pluies régulières ont arrosé les vallées et montagnes. On assiste à une vraie explosion de verdure parsemée de fleurs. Les paysages sont alors d’une très grande beauté. Au départ d’Essaouira, une escapade de 4 jours vers le Sud nous mènera de la côte Atlantique Marocaine à la région…

1. Jebel Sahro

Offering stunning scenery of gorges, fertile valleys and desert landscapes, Jebel Sahro is tucked between the High Atlas and the Sahara Desert.  The highest point of Sahro is 2,712m with most passes between 1,500m and 2,500m. Taking hikers through the land of nomadic Berber tribesmen, the Jebel Sahro region is a spectacular trekking destination, yet less visited than Mount Toubkal and other popular places where people go hiking in Morocco.

Προσφέροντας μια εκπληκτική θέα στα φαράγγια, τις εύφορες κοιλάδες και τα ερημικά τοπία, το Jebel Sahro  βρίσκεται  ανάμεσα στον Υψηλό Άτλαντα και την Έρημο Σαχάρας. Το υψηλότερο σημείο  του Sahro είναι 2.712 μ. με τα περισσότερα περάσματα  να κυμαίνονται  μεταξύ 1.500 και 2.500 μ. , οδηγώντας  πεζοπόρους στη γη των νομαδικών φυλών των Βέρβερων . Η περιοχή του Jebel Sahro είναι ένας θεαματικός προορισμός  για πεζοπορία, αλλά λιγότερο  επισκέψιμος από εκείνο του όρους Toubkal και  τα’ άλλα δημοφιλή μέρη όπου οι πεζοπόροι επιλέγουν  στο  Μαρόκο.

2. Jebel Sirwa Ascent

Connecting the High Atlas Mountains and the lesser visited Anti-Atlas in the south of Morocco; Jebel Sirwa is a 3,304m volcanic mountain from which you can view the region’s peaks and valleys. Hikers can either choose to summit Jebel Sirwa itself or trek at a lower altitude through the region’s isolated and rugged landscape, visiting some its stunning mountain villages. One of Morocco’s finest, unexplored trekking destinations.

Συνδέοντας τα βουνά του Υψηλού Άτλαντα με εκείνα του λιγότερου επισκέψιμου  Μικρού Άτλαντα στα νότια του Μαρόκου, το Jebel Sirwa είναι ένα ηφαιστιογενές βουνό με υψόμετρο στα 3.304 μ., από  το οποίο μπορείτε να δείτε τις κορυφές και τις κοιλάδες της περιοχής. Οι πεζοπόροι μπορούν είτε να επιλέξουν να  ανέβουν στην κορυφή του Jebel Sirwa είτε να περπατήσουν σε χαμηλότερο υψόμετρο μέσα από τα απομονωμένα και  άγρια τοπία της περιοχής,  έχοντας την ευκαιρία να επισκεφτούν μερικά από τα υπέροχα αυθεντικά χωριά της. Ένας από τους καλύτερους, ανεξερεύνητους προορισμούς πεζοπορίας του Μαρόκου.

3. M’goun Massif Traverse

With it’s colorful and breathtaking  gorges, beautiful, traditional villages and green valleys, as well as panoramic views that can be enjoyed from its remote and dramatic passes, the M’goun Massif is at the heart of the High Atlas Mountains and one of the top places to go hiking in Morocco.  It offers a selection of multi-day hikes as well as one-day excursions. The chance to reach the summit of M’goun itself (North Africa’s second highest peak at 4,068m) is one of the greatest challenges in the Atlas Mountains, descending through the remarkable Achabou Gorges

 Με τα πολύχρωμα και  εκπληκτικά φαράγγια, τα όμορφα παραδοσιακά χωριά και τις πράσινες κοιλάδες, αλλά και τα  πανοραμικά τοπία  που μπορείτε να απολαύσετε  περνώντας  απομακρυσμένα περάσματα που κόβουν την ανάσα  η οροσειρά του M'goun βρίσκεται στην καρδιά του Υψηλού Άτλαντα  και ένα από τα κορυφαία μέρη για να κάνετε πεζοπορία στο Μαρόκο.  Προσφέρεται για επιλογή πολυήμερων πεζοποριών καθώς και μονοήμερες εκδρομές. Η πιθανότητα να φτάσετε στη κορυφή του ίδιου του M'goun (η δεύτερη υψηλότερη κορυφή της Βόρειας Αφρικής στα 4.068 μ.) είναι μία από τις μεγαλύτερες προκλήσεις στα βουνά του Άτλαντα,  που κατεβαίνει να συναντήσει  το  πολύ γνωστό  γειτονικό  φαράγγι  του Αχαμπού.

4. Paradise Valley

Near the coastal beach resort of Agadir lies the deep palm fringed gorge that is Paradise Valley.  This lush gorge has a short, well-marked walking trail roughly 17 miles from Aourir. Other short hikes include the walking trail from Imouzzer Ida Ou Tanane out to the ‘Cascades’ waterfalls, and those with more time can hire a guide and mule to explore the valley’s Berber villages and camp under the stars.

Κοντά  στις ακτές του Ατλαντικού και το παραθαλάσσιο θέρετρο του Αγκαντίρ βρίσκεται το βαθύ φαράγγι  με το φοινικόδασος … το Paradise Valley. Αυτό το καταπράσινο φαράγγι έχει μια μικρή, καλά σχηματισμένη διαδρομή πεζοπορίας περίπου  27 χιλμ από τον Aourir. Άλλες σύντομες πεζοπορίες περιλαμβάνουν το μονοπάτι πεζοπορίας από Imouzzer Ida Ou Tanane έξω στους καταρράκτες ‘Cascades’  και όσοι έχουν περισσότερο χρόνο μπορούν να προσλάβουν οδηγό και μουλάρι για να εξερευνήσουν τα χωριά  Βέρβερων της κοιλάδας και να κατασκηνώσουν στον εκεί καταβολισμό κάτω από τα αστέρια.

5. Tazekka National Park

Jebel Tazekka is the highest mountain on the northeast tip of the Middle Atlas and it’s summit offers spectacular panoramic views of the Middle Atlas mountains. Tazekka National Park, where it is situated, hosts a diverse variety of flora and fauna including old ceder tree forests, with a major highlight being the breathtaking natural wonder of the Friouato Caves, the largest known cave system in North Africa.

7. Tafraout

For beautiful mountain trekking in untouched natural landscapes, you’ll want to head to Tafraoute in the Souss-Massa region of Morocco. Located in the central part of the Anti-AtlasMountains, this secluded and lesser visited oasis is home to stunning rock formations and is perfect for hiking. The red-granite Mountains that surround Tafraoute make for quite tough trekking and it’s not recommended for beginners. But if you are looking for a challenging trek in one of Morocco’s most spectacular regions, Tafraoute offers numerous possibilities, including trekking Jebel Kest, the highest peak in the region at 2,359m.

Για όμορφες ορεινές πεζοπορίες σε παρθένα φυσικά τοπία, θα  πρέπει να κατευθυνθείτε προς  την Tafraoute στην περιοχή Souss-Massa του Μαρόκου. Βρίσκεται στο κεντρικό τμήμα του Μεσαίου Άτλαντα. Αυτή η απομονωμένη και με λιγότερη επισκεψιμότητα όαση φιλοξενεί εκπληκτικούς βραχώδεις σχηματισμούς και είναι ιδανική για πεζοπορία. Τα βουνά από κόκκινο γρανίτη που περιβάλλουν  τη Tafraoute κάνουν αρκετά σκληρή την πεζοπορία και δεν συνιστώνται για αρχάριους. Αλλά αν ψάχνετε για ένα δύσκολο ταξίδι σε μια από τις πιο εντυπωσιακές περιοχές του Μαρόκου, η Tafraoute προσφέρει πολλές δυνατότητες, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της πεζοπορίας Jebel Kest, της υψηλότερης κορυφής στην περιοχή στα 2.359 μ.
