Those of us on the yoga package took our mats, hiked up the valley and did a few poses in this beautiful spot. Paradise Valley is the perfect place to chill for a day, swim in the cool pools, jump off the rocks (if you’re brave enough). The whole group had opted for a day trip, so we were up and out at 7.30 for a couple of hours surfing before breakfast, then we headed out of town to the Anti Atlas Mountains to Paradise Valley. My last day at Moroccan Surf Adventures was a little different. We talked, swapped stories and ate delicious foods until it was getting late and I headed home. Surf, surf, surf until we could surf no more.īut that evening, instead of chilling on the terrace back at the hostel, I took a taxi to Tagazhout, another village 2km away, to meet my friend Camille for dinner, at a lovely little restaurant called Dar Josephine.
