Sono nel cuore vivo della città rosa, alla scoperta di una delle piazze più celebri del mondo, simbolo del Marocco più autentico, stregata dagli incantatori di serpenti e dai mercanti del souk, fra gioielli berberi e tè alla menta.
Nel giugno 2001 la piazza Jemaâ El Fna di Marrakech è stata nominata dall’UNESCO Patrimonio Immateriale ed Orale dell’Umanità, perchè in questo variegato mercato si radunano quotidianamente cantastorie, saltimbanchi, musicisti, teatranti, dottori, dentisti, erboristi, astronomi, chiromanti e misteriosi venditori d’acqua: tutti elementi che ne determinano la sua unicità, in modo particolare agli occhi degli stranieri, ricordando atmosfere fiabesche da Le Mille e una Notte.
Fin dalla fondazione della città, quasi mille anni fa, la piazza offre questo spettacolo vivente all’ingresso della medina, nell’immensa area pedonale circondata da bar, ristoranti e boutiques.
Qui le culture d’impronta araba, berbera e sub sahariana si fondono e dall’alba al tramonto è un brulicare continuo di voci e colori, finché non si accendono le luci, mentre in cielo salgono i fumi delle griglie e delle cucine delle bancarelle e la piazza si trasforma in un ristorante a cielo aperto.
Nei secoli passati era il sito delle esecuzioni pubbliche, ma oggi è un luogo che ferve 24 ore su 24, sette giorni su sette.
A Marrakech tutto conduce a piazza Jemaâ El Fna, quella che gli abitanti chiamano semplicemente la place, non ti puoi sbagliare. Tutte le strade portano qui nella piazza dove tutto ha inizio, dove tutto è frenetico: la magica Jemaâ El Fna.
Il consiglio è di farsi guidare dall’istinto e dai profumi.
Bisogna andarci per capire quanto è grande, bisogna camminarci in lungo e in largo, farsi abbordare dai venditori di arance, cibo e vasellame, cedere alla tentazione di farsi appoggiare una scimmia su una spalla o un serpente sul collo, farsi fare un tatuaggio all’henné da una delle tante ragazze velate.
Viene chiamata il cuore pulsante di Marrakech non a torto, è esattamente quella la sensazione che dà… e una volta che l’avrete vista non la dimenticherete mai più.
Un total look Fendi ed è subito logomania, che si riconferma una delle tendenze più forti di stagione.

Think of it as live-action channel-surfing: everywhere you look in the Djemaa El Fna, Marrakesh’s main square, you’ll discover drama in progress.
The hoopla and halqa (street theatre) have been non-stop here ever since this plaza was the site of public executions around AD 1050 – hence its name, which means “assembly of the dead”.
By mid-morning, the soundtrack of snake-charmer flutes has already begun, to refresh you, the stalls offer orange juice and grapefruit while neighboring carts collapse under the dates, dried figs, almonds, and walnuts, especially delicious in winter when freshly picked from the surrounding countryside.
But the show doesn’t kick off until sunset when restaurants fire up their grills, cueing musicians to tune up their instruments: as the twilight falls, the square becomes a huge open-air dining room, filled with stalls lit by gas lanterns, and the air is filled with wonderful smells and plumes of spiraling cooking smoke upwards in the night.
UNESCO declared the Djemaa El Fna a “Masterpiece of World Heritage” in 2001 for bringing urban legends and oral history to life nightly and although the storytellers who once performed here have since given way to acrobats, musical performers, and slapstick comedy acts, Djemaa’s nightly carnival continues to dazzle.

Berber musicians strike up the music and Gnaoua troupes sing while henna tattoo artists beckon to passers-by and water-sellers in fringed hats clang brass cups together, hoping to drive people to drink. This is a show you don’t want to miss and it’s a bargain too.
Applause and a few dirhams ensure an encore.
There is nowhere in Morocco like the Jemaa el Fna Square – no place that so easily involves you and allows you to stay coming back for more.

I’m wearing a Fendi total look, because logamania is here to stay this season and the logo trend is back and bigger than ever.
