The people of Agadir celebrate the Amazigh New Year 2975. And their rituals of celebrating “Yennayer” have taken different forms. Traditional dishes are of course in the spotlight: berkouks or takla (porridge) is a mixture of kneaded flour, honey and argan oil, emblematic products of Souss, Guelmim and Draa-Tafilalet. Ourkimen, a recipe composed of seven varieties of legumes cooked in water, is also considered typical of the region.
Since last Friday, festivities have been taking place in public places to preserve cultural heritage deeply rooted in history and transmit it to future generations.
