Looks like almost all the fresh fish caught early this morning has been sold.
More fish for purchase
Dry goods
Slices of pizza anyone. Looks good to me.
Fresh meat with refrigeration.  That is a plus.
Great street shot. Laundry hanging off the buildings above.
I enjoy walking the streets just looking at the locals and what is happening all around me.
Every day is laundry day hanging from the windows above
Out of the local business area going further to the sea and more of the Casbah. It is huge as you can see.
We entered the home of a former family of the Kasbah.. here we find a lady with great art and gooks and handmade items for sale.
I enjoyed speaking with the artist.  She was for interesting and had some beautiful items for sale too.
Beautiful art.
Interesting items on the wall. I know it had a meaning and did not find out.    Maybe hands off???

Now at a lower level in the Kasbah or Casbah.. it is a busy or busier in the outdoor market here too.
Ketchaoua Mosque. An architectural building from the Ottoman period, it was converted into a church and then restored to a mosque  again.  It can be considered  as a gateway to the Kasbah. It has a seafront façade.
People everywhere in this area of the Kasbah. A market place is just down the street a few hundred feet.
