In the heart of ancient history
The legend has it that the Hesperidia gardens, paradise on earth, were located somewhere near Larache. It was there that the fantastic tree bearing golden apples taken by Hercules. He history of the Larache region makes this part of Morocco highly interesting for archeology. The ruins of the old Roman city Lixus, are the delight of amateur archeologists, with the theater, an acropolis, temples, amphitheater, baths with a mosaic at the foot of a hill, some one hundred basins used as drysaltry factories bearing witness to the importance of this site.

Development of Ecotourism
A port city on the Atlantic Ocean, Larache is located at the mouth of the Loukos, a river forming marshes and arms of the sea. Moving up the river at 4 kms, marshes are the home of many wader birds (pink flamingoes, herons, swallows, etc.). As in other ornithology reserves on the coast, quality ecotourism is practiced.

Water sports
Larache is also a seaside resort. Two beaches delimited by a jetty offer bathing and water sports. One is ideal for surfers, the other, closer to the arms of the sea and calmer, perfect for bathing.
