Morocco #2...Fez











Fez.... we are staying in the Medina (Walled city...original & very old)
Pictures are from the market. The photo of the pits is a leather treating operation. the white pits are full of pidgeon poop which strips and cures the leather...the coloured pits are the various colours. The smell is something we will never forget...puts you off buying leather!!!!
Aerial shot is looking down into the medina from a hill...our hotel is in there somewhere....
As you can see, you can buy any type and size of tagine known to man.
The market is made up of a maze of narrow streets..no cars or motor bikes...only donkeys and mules to cart things around.....the place is a maze.....you need a guide or you will get lost in around 5 minutes...you can buy.....vegies...fish...meat....camel heads still dripping with blood...goats heads...goats feet....and of course...TAGINES of every kind...more from Fez soon...stay tuned
