I love spices and I thought I had seen just about everything out there…until we got to Marrakech, Morocco. The colors, the aroma, the magic…of the souk…just amazing!
The most fascinating part was the private presentation given to us by one of the people working there. We were led into a room filled with jars each containing a different item (leaves, roots, rocks, branches, etc). Then he went on to tell us about all the various species and their special taste, scent, healing/medicinal qualities, etc. Just amazing!…
I don’t know if it was scent of the spices or the guy’s salesmanship…but…we walked out of there with some products! We are tourists after all, we are meant to buy stuff, right?
