Place du 9 Avril 1947

Grand Socco

A large lively park-like square just southwest of the medina. Next to it there's the Sidi Bou Abib Mosque. Go to the souk on Thursday or Sunday mornings to see the Rif mountain women in their colourful costumes selling their produce and dairy products all along the wall of the St. Andrew's Church (English Church).
