Azemmour and the Riad Azama (sáb, 16 ene 2010)
One of the best off the beaten path destinations in Morocco is the town of Azemmour located along the Atlantic coast just north of El Jedida. It is a small town with few tourists that feels like the real Morocco. There is an exceptional riad here in which to make your base while visiting this overlooked yet charming town. The Portuguese built the town tow miles inland along the Oum er Rbia river as a fortified trading post in 1513. Except for two riads there are no tourists restaurants or facilities. One of the riads, however, is reason enough to stay in Azemmour. The Riad Azama is an 18th century traditional home handsomely restored with 6 rooms located around a lovely court yard. This is one of the most beautiful Riads we have seen in Morocco.

In the Summer months, they engage in traditional festivals that run the gamut of testosterone-driven to plain odd. The Chüefladefäsch at Riedalp is a cow pat festival that involves smashing piles of excrement and looking for prizes. The Schwingen Festival in Affoltern im Emmental is a little like Swiss sumo and the Bukolik Free-ride involves humans screaming down-hill on various un-motorised wheels.
