Casablanca walkabout

We did a walking tour of some sites in Casablanca after our camel lunch. In no particular order, here are some things we came across.
Chili peppers on the left and "wild berries" on the right. Typical way of shopping for food in this area. No grocery stores.

Thanks to the French influences, Morocco has many a patisserie. This one is famous in Casablanca. The shop was full of people. The ovens are across the street. They make hundreds of trays of goodies each day. 

Water men. No water fountains in public squares. These men would carry water and brass cups and offer drinking water, for a fee. This is the typical costume. Seen in every city we visited. Nowadays they earn more posing for photos than dispensing water.

The School of Andalusian Music. Why in Morocco? Because the Moors used to be in Spain. Couple hundred years ago. 

Tile work of the school's sign. 

Typical entryway to a riad or home in the old Medina area.
