The souks of the Marrakech Medina
Marrakech is a kaleidoscope of swirling colors and flavors. It is bold mosaic and intricate artwork from floor to ceiling. It is warm mint tea, warm earthy spices and warm desert air. It is equal parts prime hospitality and persistent haggling. My husband and I celebrated my birthday there in November and it was all at once a dream come true and an over-stimulation of the senses. I returned to London feeling like I’d just been on an adventure – a feeling I hadn’t had since driving (or should I say riding – I was the passenger) the West Fjords of Iceland, where we were often the only people in sight for miles and the terrain was so craggy, you could have convinced me we were traversing the surface of the moon or were the last people on a post-apocalyptic Earth.
Eating in Marrakech can mean anything from going stall to stall at the Place Jemaa el Fna (the main central square, located in the medina) to enjoying a home-cooked meal in a riad or indulging in first-class fine dining.
