Music show of local people on Jamma-el-Fna, Marrakech, December 2012 - For this square is typical – how says one a famous Spanish poet Juan Goytisolo – „The spectacle of Jamaa el Fna is repeated daily and each day it is different. Everything changes — voices, sounds, gestures, the public which sees, listens, smells, tastes, touches.“ I can not describe it better. Local musical artists for a few minutes convince you that this moment is the only one and you want to spend your time right here, listening to their kind of folk music.

Dinner on Jamaa-El-Fna, Marrakech, Morocco, December 2012 - Jamaa-el-Fna is a square and market in Marrakech´s medina quarter (old city), where you can satiate all your senses, especially when you are hungry, this place is perfect for you.

In this city we found the place inside one of the many old buildings where were lot of kids „playing“ games on the games machines. It was interesting, and a little bit sad for me, they didn´t have a coins for the games, so in fact they didn´t play a real game, just watched the previews of the game. But still it is better as do the homeworks, or isn´t it? Kids are the same everywhere...
