There are two things that are defnitely not missing in laayoune... the first is pharmacies (there are dozens of them) the second - and most important - is patisseries... hudreds. Definitely people living there have a sweet tooth.
There's plenty of cakes and sweets to be bought, and all look delicious. Hard to buy only a few pieces of them, we discovered. The nice lady at the shop did only know the prices by the kilo.

You may forget that you are in the middle of the desert, while in Laayoune town, but if you take a short stroll outside town, you will be remembered soon... occasionally you may see men walking their camels by the side of the road.
I really don't know where this man was walking his camel - and I'm not even sure I want to know. Just remember that camel meat - feet in particular - is a real delicacy. It was cooked for us on New Years Eve by a very friendly local family we had the chance of meeting. Not exactly yummy, though...
