Azrou, located in the heart of the Middle Atlas, is renowned not only for its Berber population but especially for its enchanting cedar forests that surround it. With a population of about 50,000, Azrou is famous for the “Great Cedar Gouraud,” a majestic thousand-year-old cedar, the largest in the region. Although it sadly died a few years ago due to a processionary moth invasion, its charm remains intact. A few meters from the Cedar Gouraud, you will find stalls where you can buy souvenirs, drinks and peanuts, perfect for feeding the cute bertucas, the little monkeys that populate the area. You can also visit the small medina, full of stores and local craft workshops, where you can admire wood carvings and traditional carpets.
