A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Since I was a child I feel a big atraction for other cultures, every country has it´s own history and customs, spirituality, architecture, gastronomy and it´s was styles, flavours, smells and colours own. One of the continents that I would like to know it´s Africa. A would like to start for Morocco wich is separated to Spain  by a narrow canal called Strait of Gibraltar. I think to this country is a very relevant for all it cultural wealth, for be so very  different from us, and the western tradition in gerenal, it´s a territory it had been occupied for thousands of years and had also been influential to many cultures in this formations like a nation, it has many secrets I would like to discover.


MAPA DE MARRUECOS

There are different place along the country I would like to visit, I started for Rabat, it´s capital, conceived from the start as a fortress, wich ceded to the strong influence Persian and Spain, it have interesting large contructions and pompous decoration nad mucha houses stacked wich form small labyrinths it is easy to get lost between markets and smalls coffees.


RABAT

Located near to province to Marrakech, Ait Ben Haddou, this a city it´s only composed for houses and towers to mud, preserved in natural colour, this fortress city it´s surrounded by palm trees, today very few people live there, making in a city-museum, in this place it has to made much films.


AIT BEN HADDOU

Also we can find other city called Chechaouene, know as "blue village", during centurie is considered as sacred city, where prohibited to entry as foreigners. For this reason it has kept it´s typical medieval appearance untouched, also have very narrow streets, according to what I read it very easy get lost if not go with a good map.


CHECHAOUENE

As Finally very near to Rabat we can find Medina de Fez, in this city only appropriate for those travelling by foot, is the biggest city walkable in the world, here is two important mosques to morocco. It´s generally considered like a cultural capital , religious and craft to this country, you can find masters in many discipline wich allow learn from them. It then becomes in a very generous city, exist to date sellers of unsaleable, it´s a big mix. On of the place that I like to know is a tanner´s neighbourhood o Chouara, palce full to pots with naturals dyes, here you can learning ancestral techniques dyeing process and colours fixing in leather or textiles. 



MEDINA DE FEZ

I could go on enumerating sities, I think to Morocco is a place so full of beatiful  place and greates landscapes, when I was possibility to go I try to travel with ease and much as possible.

Highly recommended!
