Let us go on a tour of the city. Agadir has three main ports: the commercial, the fishing and the recreational port. The morning auction of the second one is worth a visit, as well as Marina Agadir<\/em> where you can see boats up to 30 meters.<\/p>\n

3. Culture and tradition<\/span><\/h1>\n

The culture in Agadir is the culture of good taste, of silver bracelets, chiselled brooches or diadems whose pendants go down to the eyebrows. They are jewels loaded with symbolism<\/strong>, whose art is perpetuated by the craftsmen of the Souss jewelers.<\/p>\n

This good taste is also reflected in the city’s cuisine. In coastal areas, fish is the main protagonist with dishes such as tuna tajin with raisins, monkfish with candied lemon or gilthead with fennel and celery. The “gadir\u00ed<\/strong>” cuisine<\/strong>, which originated in Agadir, also benefits from Berber contributions in products and recipes.<\/p>\n
