Tamraght

Tamraght is a village on Morocco's Atlantic coast north of Agadir, known for surfing. Surf’Ice is on a side street off the RN1 there. The owner trained in Bologna and makes all the ice cream and sorbet on site, with Moroccan flavours among them: amlou, a paste of almonds, argan oil and honey, selou, a sweet of toasted flour, almonds and sesame, and gazelle horn, named after the almond pastry. Scoops are large and come in cups only.
