With a population of just 133,731, Larache is no bustling metropolis. The colonial-era architecture and sleepy coastal vibe give it a quaint charm, but the persistent bureaucratic headaches are a reality check for would-be expats. The hot, sunny summers and wet, cool winters can be pleasant, but the record high of 46.4°C in 2021 is a stark reminder that the climate is not for the faint of heart. Overall, Larache is best suited for those seeking a slower-paced, seaside lifestyle in Morocco, provided they can navigate the city's administrative complexities.
