I was thinking Gara Meduar before even clicking the post link!
We visited over Christmas, huge group of Spanish tourist 4x4’s at the top, one playing Ed Sheeran at a volume that would hurt even a fan girls ears.
I still find it strange that you can just drive straight up or into a land mark in Morocco without a hoarde of angry locals claiming you’re ruining the countryside.
The Spanish eventually cleared and we met an eccentric local selling rocks and minerals and he kindly gave us a description of the local surroundings in approximately three languages also featuring a story of ‘a woman who once mangé dans les montagnes...’ I didn’t catch the rest after the third language change. Great to listen to though.
Bumped into the photographer of the photo on the cover of Chris Scott’s book in Marrakesh, smart intelligent friendly German chap called Marc who also knew some other friends of mine. These coincidental small world scenarios are getting more and more frequent the more I travel.
