Marrakesh: Dyer’s souks.

Dyer's Souks

Dyer's Souks II

The souks of Marrakesh (Marrakech) are said to be the most extensive ones in Morocco. In the maze of alleyways and small streets, it is difficult to tell whether this is true, but I am sure that I could spend ages there and still discover new things all the time.
One of the most picturesque parts of the souks are the “dyer’s souks”. If you want to actually see the dying process, Fes is a far better place to go. However, in Marrakesh you come across brightly coloured leather, wool and cloth drying in the sun a truly beautiful sight!

Another View of the Levada Nova

It is a very relaxing experience to walk along a levada through woods and fields. The levada Nova in the Western part of Madeira is quite an easy walk and very varied. Local agencies organise the walks, but it is quite easy to do a walk on your own as well: although there are hardly any signposts, the "levada" carrying the water across the island usually clearly identifies the correct way.
