If you didn't know already, I love Moroccan food, like absolutely adore it! Morocco would probably be one of the most interesting countries I've visited in my travels. I went back for my 21st birthday on a trip with my sister, but I'd so love to go back again and revisit the markets and of course, the food!
What I loved about the food, was that, despite the fact that a lot of dishes were heavier dishes, the food still felt super light and fresh and jam-packed with flavour. They use a lot of spices in their cooking, and if you wander around the markets, you can smell the flavours of Morocco wafting through the air.
