Morocco in 15 days

Hello guys,

i'm planning a trip outside Italy for 15 days and my target is Marocco! I think from the end of January!

I'm a really good walker so walking will not my problem, and for this reason at this moment i've planned this route :


I think that i can stay 2 or 3 days in every city, depending on how much places and things i wanna visit.

Do you think that are too much cities?

Another thing.. i really wanna reach the Sous Massa/Oued Massa National Park from Agadir. Do you know how ? by Bus ? Grand Taxi ?

Thanks to everyone!

approx 800 km to walk in 15 days = 53 km per day + back to depart city :)
I would skip Casa and Agadir and replace with for example Essaouira, Taroudannt or other places.

Sous Massa is a great place for bird watching, especially in January, but not much else to do.

Guidebooks are the best resource for researching bus and taxi questions.

...... the Oued Sous-Massa National Park lies between Agadir and Sidi-Ifni, contains Villages, Farms and Roads in addition to the River Estuaries of the rivers Sous and Massa. Passing through it you might not notice you are in a reserve, the usual farming and village actives you might expect are carried on, no fencing or walls. Easily reached from Agadir or Inezgane by bus or taxi, a hired car better still to reach more remote parts. The park is mostly about birds, gazelles and reptiles, Cobras are taken illegally from here by Snake-charmers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souss-Massa_National_Park#Fauna

Using Agadir as a base is a good idea with a terrific range of Hotels and restaurants, frequent buses and shared grand taxis travel south via Inezgane.... see these interactive maps http://looklex.com/morocco/map02.htm and http://looklex.com/morocco/map03.htm For information on the Sous Valley area and Anti-Atlas use this.. http://www.visitagadir.com/index.php

In this part of Morocco during winter you have the best chance of warmer and mild weather, daylight is unfortunately short, so do your planning well. Consider staying over-night in one of the seaside villages, after nightfall the locals are out socialising and good local information obtained, places like Mirhleft come to mind. Hotel charges this far south are very reasonable.

It was not a a joke. I just am not sure what he meant. There are some hardy souls who might try doing it.
