Sidi Ifni is located on the African Atlantic coast, in Morocco, almost at the same height as the Canary Islands . The Spanish atmosphere and its Art-deco architecture are two reasons to visit this beautiful city. In addition, what in its day was known as "The City of Flowers" , enjoys a special microclimate that today has become a meeting place for surfers .
When you arrive in the city center, the first thing you will see is the old Plaza de España , today known as Plaza de Hassan II . It is a building with rounded shapes that, at the top of its facade, and carved in stone, exhibits the pre-constitutional shield. In the Plaza, in addition, there are also the town hall and the building of the old Governor’s Palace , currently conditioned for official receptions and as a residence for distinguished visitors.
All buildings are painted in pastel colors and are in very good condition. Art-deco buildings abound, such as the main church, which is now the Palace of Justice , or the Hotel España, today Hotel Bellevue .
In June the celebration of their festivities that last a whole week take place. They choose these days since the number of tourists around these dates is lower. All the inhabitants celebrate these days with music and lots of food . The celebration takes place on a former airfield.
As we have already mentioned, the wind has begun to bring income in the area, since Ifni is on the international surf map. Be careful with the waves as they can get huge. The surfers who practice here are experts in the field and also know the problems with the strong currents that occur in the area.
Dare with this date with surfing and calm .
