With Sidi Ifni, we had finally reached the Atlantic Ocean again. The small town has a strong Spanish influence, as it was founded in 1934 by Spain as a military base. Roads, avenues, central squares, barracks, decorative buildings, hospitals and administrative buildings were constructed in the Art Deco style. Nearly 15,000 Spanish soldiers and military personnel once resided in Sidi Ifni with their families. Leisure activities such as cinemas, the zoo, cafés and the casino provided plenty of variety, until the Spanish occupation ended in 1969.
We stayed for one night at the camp ground of the municipality on top of the cliff. From here, we will follow the coast north, reaching Agadir next. More soon!
