For many of us escaping the UK, the shoulder seasons—spring and autumn—provide the perfect balance of heat, avoiding the intense peak of the summer sun while ensuring the weather remains reliably bright.

Expect fresh seafood pulled daily from the Atlantic, alongside classic Moroccan staples like tagines and couscous. The town retains a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and spending an afternoon wandering through the streets is a great way to soak up the local atmosphere and see a different side to the Moroccan coast.
