A peaceful night, only disturbed by the inevitable call to
prayers from the mosque loudspeakers at 5.30am. Being in a town and not 4000ft
up a mountain meant we enjoyed a warm night.
Having posted our misgivings about the town on the forum, a
response suggested we should give the place a chance and explore a little, so
overturning our decision to move on made last night, instead we took a walk
into the centre and, as directed, to the big souk held on Saturday and Sunday.
Tata is not an old town and is laid out in straight roads, almost on a grid pattern. Running off the main street along one of these roads is the souk, or market, with typical Moroccan stalls, crowded with locals “getting their shopping in”. Tesco on Saturday morning will never be the same!

Returning to the vans (Colin and Tina are still with us) our
awning spread between gave us cool shelter from the hot sunshine. The rest of
our day is being spent relaxing whilst contemplating our next move – and the
washing bag is starting to fill up again!
Shortly after I took the photo above, Desert Detours Italia
turned up! 12 vans squeezed in everywhere, double-parked and including under the arches! And of course
Italians like to chat – at full volume! Ah well there goes the neighbourhood.
