Which is my favorite place in Morocco? Maybe Fes? Maybe Marrakesh?
​I don't decide. I appreciated both of them. In different colors, in different shapes, history and social authenticity merge well with modernity, allowing excellent vacations.
​

Djemaa El Fna - ​Always on

Powered by flickr embed.
The heart of Morocco beats in Djemaa el-Fna, where everything happens, and everything has a price, in a non-stop touristy happening. 

The size of the square, very uncommon in old Moroccan quarters may explain this intense merging of business and popular arts.

The square is a living stage, performing for tourist everything that may lead to a deal.

Medina - ​Not impressive​

Imagem
I must confess that I was not impressed by the Medina, in Marrakesh. 

After visiting Tetouan, Tangier, Casablanca, and specially Fes, this Medina seemed a common commercial quarter, without the strong sensations lived in Fes. 

Of course, for a first contact with Moroccan way of life the sensation may be totally different, but... this was what I felt.
