Over a dozen vendors, spread out over two large blue-and-white Brutalist souqs, sell some of the finest crafts in Agadir. Fine leatherwork (everything from jackets to card holders), pottery, Amazigh (Berber) jewellery, carved wooden pieces and daggers are all on offer here. After shopping, you can drop into a shaded chair in the central courtyard and plan your next move.
