A Fes… tival vibe

We’re in the Ancient city of Fes, and it sure is old…




 Chaoara Tannery













We’re staying on the outskirts of town which in itself is an adventure. Dinner last night came from a place (butchers shop pretty much), complete with hanging meat carcus at the door… where they cook up your purchase over coals with a salad and fries. I have to say, I was a bit dubious at first, but it turned out to be delicious. Like a backyard barbecue.

Next morning we hit the old Medina for a good poke around the shops and markets. Being a Friday, we lucked out on it all being open, but we made our way to the Tannery which was unique. Smelt a bit fresh lol we opted for a quick tour, minus the mint and paid a bare minimum for our own look over the terrace. Who wants to hear about all the process when you’re nearly heaving… but it wasn’t really that bad I have to say, and I bought a leather bag afterwards.
