During the strict lockdown, the artists from the youth of Azemmour got together online and devised a plan to beautify the town. They worked out the logistics of how they could repaint the old medina and which tasks should be allocated to whom. Virtually the whole of the area within the walls has been done. There are new murals and tags and most of the old winding streets have been painted with a bright blue colour. Some of the pavements have been jazzed up with geometric designs. The effect is stunning. The medina had been looking a bit dilapidated, but now it's fresh and vibrant. Azemmour is progressing leaps and bounds with initiatives like this and others from craft and/or development charitable foundations run by concerned citizens. I personally attended a meeting of the association of the Maison d'Artisanat a few days ago and heard about plans to widen the appeal of the traditional crafts of the town and attract domestic and foreign tourists to see seminars, workshops and displays (and maybe to purchase). All this is happening within the walls of the Medina of Azemmour.

The first time I came to El Jadida was in the early 80s and you could just walk into the cistern if you could find it! These days unless you are Moroccan it will cost you the equivalent of €6, but I still think that it is worthwhile. It reminds me of the Mezquita in Cordoba and the peace and coolness is enveloping. Tip - the loo is also clean and free!
