Cacti from around the world

Leaving behind the tranquility we hit Djemaa El Fna square and it hit us, this live action theatre/circus the polar opposite of tranquility, with its snake charmers, drum bangers, food stalls and adjacent souks might be best described as a liveliest place in Morocco with something for everyone to enjoy.
