Women who go unnoticed, is the daily life of Rissani. It smells like cumin. It smells of freshly tanned leather. It seems that many adidas are used here, in addition to slippers. It is boisterous, how many species of variety of color. Some sellers try to pull you to see what they offer, others expect a show of interest before approaching. You go walking and you do it among donkeys, bicycles, small carts, men holding hands, discreet and elusive women. This town centuries ago, was the first imperial city of Morocco.
