The experience
About this trip
A fantasia is a charge: riders in traditional dress come down the arena in a line, at a full gallop, and pull up together at the end with muskets fired into the air. It is loud and it is quick, and it has been done this way for a long time.
That is the centrepiece, but the evening runs longer. There is drumming, dancing from different regions, and acrobats, and dinner is served at your table while it goes on around you.
We collect you from your hotel, riad or hostel in Agadir by private car around seven and bring you back around half past eleven. It is a straightforward night out and it suits families, since the children are usually awake for all of it.
