Images Morocco 2010

Images from my last venture to Morocco with my friend Nigel and our Moroccan friends Hafid and Yazid. The first one shows you the fruit of the Agana tree the second an Agana tree. Both were taken in the south east of Morocco called the area of the Sous (which means the south) and includes the cities of Essaouira and Agadir and the country between them and out to the west to Tourandant. It is the land of the Berber people the original inhabitants of Morocco. I am writing more in later posts about the culinary and cosmetic uses that Berbers have made of this precious oil from these fruits for perhaps hundreds of thousands of years.

Below are images from the beautiful northern town of Chefchouen high up in the northern Atlas.
