The centre of Tata is rather small, only some streets with shops, a square, a park, a camping ....
It's easy to find your way without a map. At several points in the centre you can have a look at the surrounding landscape.
The buildings are painted in all kinds of pastel shades like orange, pink, yellow, blue. Near the square orange is favourite. The colour looks beautiful in the late sunlight.
The colonades are very colourful, not only by the painted walls, but especially by the decorated tiles on the pillars.

When you have to spend some hours in Tata or stay over for the night like we did, it's nice to take your time and stroll around in the centre.
Tata, with 40.000 inhabitants, is a sleepy oasistown at the edge of the Algerian Sahara.
In the town is not a lot to do, but we liked it to walk to the central square and have a look at what's going on. It is a very easygoing and peaceful place. We had our glass of mint tea and looked at the daily life in the late afternoon. People were friendly and greeting us.

sachara Says: In the centre of Tata is a municipal camp. The first part of the camp, where you enter, is large, but has no grass and green. Here stood several campers, all with a dog. At the other side of a building was a nice place with grass and palmtrees. Here we spent the night in our...

We had lunch in a local restaurant in a small town in the Anti Atlas on our way to Tata.
This restaurant was very colourful by the Moroccan tiles and the pastel shaded colours.
There many restaurants like this en route.
There was not much choice, but the food was good and cheap. And it was nice, that many locals frequented the place.

On our way from Taroudann to the south east to Tata we saw a lot of nice villages.
Very tempting to stop and stroll around.
In some villages ruins of a mighty fortress are overlooking the surrounding area.
it was a pity our route was so long that we couldn't stop everywhere.

The route from Taroudannt to Tata climbs the Anti-Atlas massif of Jebel Aklim.
The area with striated hills and huge valleys is very picturesque.
On our way we enjoyed the landscape and the many villages and small towns on the slopes in a rough, but beautiful setting.

These three Berber women and I tried to communicate with our hands and gestures. They spoke only a little French.
Somebody helped me to translate what they are trying to tell. The women asked me to join them, they invited me to come to their house.
It was a pity, it was rather far from the market and the landrovers couldn't wait that long.

On our way from Taroudannt to Tata we stopped at a local market along the road near Igherm. The market was very small, only a few stalls.
The local people brought their vegetables and fruits to the market with their donkeys.
We had a look at the stalls and bought some fruits.
The people were friendly, interested and apparently not used to visitors from abroad.
