Apart from a local village, is there also a washing machine at Erkounte? We are back on the road tomorrow but need the washing done -- but like the look of Erkounte and the idea of some Danish pastries!
No but there is a bus stop outside the campsite
Also there is a well stocked shop on site at very reasonable prices.

P.s anyone driving down the coast road from essouruia to agadir, especially around Tamanar, where it says 60km per hour stick to it, I didn't and got pulled over by a very charming police man (swmbo was impressed), well , he asked for our paper work, which he didn't check, told me the fine was 300d, which I gave him, he gave me 200d back and said 'have a safe journey ' , I obviously decided against asking for a receipt to add to my collection
Me too Marc ! You have the body of an athlete LOLLol Phil

Know the place well, spent 10 minutes there when the not so nice Bobby went through all my paperwork. By the way a receipt cost an extra 50dh is 150.

Hotelman, there is a campsite on the left as you pass by the main beach on Mohammad V Avenue -- but always looks full. You can always stay at the school around from MUstafa's if you know where that is. Plenty people park near the Souk -- but police often move people on at 10pm, so I have been told.

Hi Anne & Brian
There is a small village on the hillside opposite Erkounte. We had a walk up there but its just a rural farming village no shops or suchlike. Mirleft or Sidi Ifni are a fourpenny bus ride either way from the site or Legzira before Sidi.
If you come out of the camp site entrance and turn to your right and then first right again, follow a narrow road down to the sea. From memory its like a fisherman's wharf down there with the waves from the Atlantic lapping the rocks.

There is a campsite right in the town at the Northern End but its always busy with people queuing outside waiting for vans to depart.
Camping International d'Agadir
Rue Chouha da Mokhtar Soussi, Agadir 80000, Morocco
There is also Camping Atlantica d'Imourane off the main N1 road close to Banana Village - between Tagazhout and Agadir. I think a few Funsters have stayed here and again its always busy.

AGADIR:
If you are only going to stop for a couple of nights we have frequently parked at the school near the recently departed Mustafa's workshop.
The coordinates are
N 30°25'29.8" W 9°34'44.2"
The school guardian is on duty all night and will probably make himself known and usually appreciates (but will not demand) a donation of Dh10 or Dh20.
It can occasionally be noisy but gets quiet after 9pm
There are no facilities although it always used to be possible to empty out at Mustafas or the cafe adjacent on the corner with a donation of a few Dh to the proprietor.
A petit taxi to the Grand Souk takes less than 5 minutes and is usually less than 10Dh. Make sure the driver puts the meter on!
If he won't and asks you for something outrageous like 20Dh, don't argue, wait until you get to the souk. Then just give him 10Dh get out and walk away saying you have been here many times and you know this is the going rate.

Relaxing here at Moulay Bousselham - Camping Atlantic Gate, the second camping sign - with the group reformed. Not very busy and loads of room, but not where the electricity is working! Those who've been here will know what I mean.
It has been warm and sunny although the night was clear so very cold. Unfortunately it clouded over this afternoon and is now raining but it was forecast and is said to be a short weather front; might make it warmer overnight though. Probably move on Saturday.

Are there any French left in France....I think they are all here on Camping Agadir !!, we had a great cycle along the prom, and got a taxi to the Grand Souk, and it is huge.....
Tomorrow another little drive down the coast, to 'who knows where' courtesy of Camper Contact.

Often when travelling we dry out smalls, t shirts etc on the dasboard as we are driving (or when we are parked) The great expanse of an A class dashboard is ideal in Morocco where the sun beats through the window
Our Maroc trip plan now includes driving the N8 between Marrakech and Fes. Any sugestions for places to see, stop etc?

Meknes is one of our favourite places in Morocco. Almost no tourists, so the souk depends entirely on locals and there is none of the pestering you get in Marrakesh and to a lesser extent Agadir.
The square gets very lively in the evenings, like a mini version of the Jemma el Fnar in Marrakesh.
The best parking is by the city walls just outside the entrance to the Royal Golf course which is permanently guarded by Army and Police so as safe as you can get.

Now in Zagora took the N12 after Tata / Foum Z..... which is good, just be careful with some of the fords as the dips can be quite bumpy. Managed 45 mph average
My favourite place in Morroco great market at top of town and a nice place to just chill out
Hot sunny day here at La Relais washing done n dried, heading to the coast for some r&r tomorrow.
If it's of help to any dog owners we came over with FRS on thurs, we were able to take our dog on top deck unlike Balearics where we have always had to leave him in the van
