Moroccan Style

 Haven't wrote in a good while, so it's about time! End of January/February consisted of fun times in Taghazout, Morocco (pronounced Tara-zoot). It was my second time in Taghazout and my third time in Morocco. Ocean Surf house provided accommodation with a rooftop terrace, ideal if you're on a budget and for catching some rays, stargazing, rooftop parties and wave watching. We were able to view all 3 major spots - Panoramas, Hash point & Anchors. The fish market provided us with some tasty, healthy, fresh ingredients to make our own tagine and don't forget to grab some spices from the market. Vegetables here are so cheap - around a £1 for a bag full. Paradise valley is a 40minute journey from Taghazout, and I'd definitely recommend going there (but make sure the taxi driver doesn't rip you off!). It's a bit cold this early in the year, so you'll need a wetsuit. It's better to go early and leave early as the sun disappears around 5o'clock in the valley. If you're lucky, some locals may bring you a homemade tagine with some bread whilst you enjoy the sun, the natural rock slides and the cliff jumping.
