    Entrance to Central Market

    We bought picnic supplies at the central market in the Ville Nouvelle for our lunch on the road to Azrou. The market is smaller then the covered market in the medina but it seemed a lot cleaner and there much fewer flies around! At one shop, which sold exclusively olives, we were encouraged to try as many different types as we wanted before buying. In the end, we bought a large plastic bottle of green olives which lasted us over a week. And it only cost us 15 Dh.

    We also bought tomatoes, bread, cheese, nuts, water and fruit at the various stalls. The guys running the shops were very friendly, there was little hassle from anyone to buy, and the prices were good. On the exterior of the market, on Zamkat Omar ibn Ass, there are a couple of shops selling alcohol (easy to identify as they’ll have the suspicious looking grilled windows) and as it was unlikely we’d be in a big town again until Marrakech we decided to buy a few bottles of red wine for picnics and my birthday.
