Travels Through Morocco - Atlas Mountains, Part Two

seetheworld.sgp (62) in travel • 2 days ago

Final day in Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains, and what a treat to end on...

As promised in my last post, here is the second part of the Atlas Mountains trek and a final goodbye to the beautiful city of Marrakech.

As we drove higher and higher into the mountains, the road became steeper until we stopped at the foot of a fast flowing river containing absolutely crystal clear water. In front of us was a path winding up the mountain, with several bridges without any railings. It was soon clear that we had to cross them. As seen in the picture below, the bridge was narrow - only wide enough for one person to cross at a time. To make things worse, it was a bridge that consisted of several rudimentary planks of wood without any sides, hence one small slip and we were in for a wet time. Luckily there were some eateries along the way that helped replenish us.

Thankfully we made it across, and climbed higher and higher. The path turned steeper and steeper until eventually we were simply clambering up boulders and mini waterfalls. Exhausted, I stumbled across a nice shop on the way, selling ceramic home-made souvenirs. One thing we began to notice as well - it was getting colder. The higher we climbed, the faster the water and the steeper the route became until. Almost ready to give up, we spotted some farmers leading rows of sheep across the cliff edge with incredible skill.

Spurred on by this, we kept on climbing and we're so damn glad we did. Near the summit was an incredible waterfall, with a few tourists who had already performed the climb. Despite the colder air, the cold mist of the water was a refreshing break from the sweaty and arduous climb. As we sat by the waterfall to appreciate the beauty, we climbed back down slowly.

Sunset over Marrakech, Morocco

We drove back to Marrakech, exhausted but with a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. We knew it was our last night, so we celebrated with the only way that Morocco had taught us. Sipping a refreshing cup of peppermint tea while watching the sun go down at Jemaa El Fna square. If you ever go to Marrakech, make sure to head to the Le Grand Balconwhich translates to The Grand Balcony, for simply the best views of the square during sunset. I can guarantee that you won't regret it.

As we regretfully bid goodbye to Marrakech, it was time to prepare for our next destination - Fes. Stay tuned for my next post once we arrive!!

Travel Blog Barcelona #1: Exploring Beaches![It/En]

mauryis (59) in travelblog • 2 days ago

[En] Today I want to take you around "my" city, the city where I live for six months and I'm happy and proud: Barcelona.

We will go to see the beaches, restaurants, nightclubs and the best places to see with this blog.

Today I will take you to one of the most peaceful and isolated beaches out there I'm talking about Playas Filipinas. A very long beach, 1 km from the Prat airport, where the only noise you can experience is the noise of the planes taking off.
For the rest is a very quiet beach with very few people and even one or two chiringuito where you can appreciate the joy of a "cerveza".

[It] Oggi voglio portarvi in giro nella "mia" città, la città dove vivo da sei mesi e di cui sono contento e fiero: Barcelona.

Andremo a vedere le spiaggie, i ristoranti, le discoteche e i posti migliori da vedere con questo blog.

Oggi vi porto in una delle più tranquille e isolate spiaggie che ci siano. Vi parlo di Playas Filipinas. Una spiaggia lunghissima, a 1 km dall'aereoporto del Prat, dove l'unico vostro disturbo possibile sarà il rumore degli aerei che decollano.
Per il resto è una spiaggia molto tranquilla con molta poca gente ed anche uno o due chiringuitos dove poter apprezzare la gioia di una "cerveza".

Vi lascio alle foto!

When we get lost!!

You explore beauty close to nature. You are a really good blogger, the first blog in Barcelona seems to good, explore road trip, foodie, bike ride, beach and especially selfie. You enjoy a lot. A good thing in travel and tourism vlogger is to express anything what he see and want to explore in front of audience .
