Socco Alto
What the experts agree on
Tangier's Grand Socco is the atmospheric gateway to the medina—a palm-lined plaza where locals and visitors mingle among vibrant produce stalls and shops, anchored by a central fountain beneath the iconic Bab Fass gate.
“It's a lively place where the inhabitants, passers-by and shopkeepers interact on a daily basis. The cheerful stalls in the covered market and the little shops nearby are full of vegetables, fruits”
