If you've never been to Morocco, this will give you a good sense as to what a Moroccan "souk" might be like...great finds, including tapestries, slippers, leather goods, lamps, etc.

Waliking tour guides and information is available outside the outist information centre in Plaza Nueva. you can find the guides on two wheeled stand up bikes outside. They all speak many languages and are very happy to pass on iformation
