Practical tips
Central market and Casabarata.
Good to know
Prices can change depending on season, provider or availability. Please check the official website or Google Maps before going.
Overview
Tangier's neighbourhood markets are different from the craft souks: they are day-to-day food markets where locals shop. You go for the atmosphere, colours, stalls of fruit, fish and olives. It's the best way to understand how the city eats.
Types and styles to know
- Central market: in the heart of the new city — fruit, vegetables, spices, olives and cheeses.
- Casabarata: large popular market — secondhand clothes, kitchenware, lively atmosphere.
- Fish markets: early morning, straight from the port.
Bargaining with respect
- Go in the morning: fresher and less crowded.
- Bring small notes and a reusable bag.
- Photograph discreetly; ask before taking someone's picture.
Mistakes and red flags
- Confusing popular markets with tourist markets — prices and atmosphere are different.
- Going to buy craft souvenirs there — that's not what they're for.
