Paradise Valley (Agadir)

Before I briefly introduce Agadir, let me introduce Paradise Valley. I always like to enjoy the good things first, and then I can choose whether or not to read the rest.
The village we stayed in is located on top of a mountain near the Atlantic Ocean, about a 30-minute drive from Agadir. We chose it to save on accommodation costs (about 20 euros per night, with a mini kitchen) and to avoid the crowded city center (Agadir is a great place to spend the winter in cold Europe). Standing behind the village, you can see the endless brown mountains, with sparse trees growing on them. The branches are covered with long, hard thorns, and if there are leaves, they are densely packed against the branches, like the small curls on a black person's head. The most important principle of the structure is to save water!
Riding from the village into the vast mountains, you will reach Paradise Valley after an hour of winding roads. Paradise Valley is not as beautiful as its name suggests, like a paradise, but it is actually an oasis in the barren mountains. The oasis is full of lush coconut trees and reeds, and the river is like a big-headed tadpole with a long tail, with most of the water source concentrated in the head and getting smaller and smaller as it goes back. Although the oasis is not spectacular, it stretches for several kilometers. In the old days, how many people and animals did this oasis save? How much hope did it give them to keep living? In this sense, it is not an exaggeration to call it "Paradise Valley."
As for Agadir, it is not very distinctive, quite clean, the city looks quite new, and it is quite close to the sea. It is suitable for tourists who want to relax and enjoy the sun on the beach every day!
