Tiznit.
You pull off the N1 highway into a fortress of packed pink mud. Tiznit sits where the Souss plain runs dry against the Anti-Atlas foothills, ringed by six kilometres of crenellated walls. Inside, the sound of hammer against chisel echoes from small silver ateliers. Women walk the alleys in blue melhfas, heading toward the central spring of Source Bleue. It smells of cumin, hot olive oil, and cedar shavings.
