Amizmiz.
You climb south out of the Marrakesh plain until the dust cools and the snow-dusted High Atlas fills the windscreen. Amizmiz sits where the olive groves hit the bedrock. Men in wool djellabas haul boxes of mint, woodsmoke drifts from clay ovens, and potters shape red mountain earth on foot-powered wheels. It is a working Berber hub where Tuesdays bring farmers down from the ridges with mule loads of walnuts and goats.
