    We begin at the lively Grand Socco, one of Tangier’s most iconic squares and the traditional gateway into the old city. Here, you’ll enjoy a selection of freshly baked Moroccan pastries — such as honey-drenched chebakia, flaky msemen, or almond briouates — paired with a glass of freshly squeezed seasonal juice. As you taste, we introduce the history of the square, its role as a meeting point between the modern city and the Medina, and its place in Tangier’s cultural life.

    – Olive Tasting & Spice Market Visit
    At the Grand Socco, we make a delicious stop to taste a variety of Moroccan olives — from spicy and marinated to buttery and mild. This lively square is surrounded by vendors displaying colorful olive assortments that reflect the rich agricultural traditions of northern Morocco. After the tasting, we continue into the nearby spice market, where stalls overflow with saffron, cumin, ras el hanout, and other fragrant blends. Here you’ll discover the aromas that shape Moroccan cooking while getting a glimpse into daily local trade and culture.
