Fresh Orange Juice

One of the joys of Taroudant is the fresh orange juice. The Sousse valley is a major producer with industrial scale orange groves. Workers can be seen morning and night going out to the estates from the villages standing in 20s in the rear of pick-up trucks and lorries. When you go to Marjane in Agadir they have special offers on Taroudant oranges and clementines as the best.
The very best oranges seem to end up at the orange juice stalls in Place Tamouklate by the entrance to the Berber souk. There for 4 dirhams you can have a large glass of juice squeezed for you  as you wait. Small glasses are 2 dirham. This is about half the cost of the similar stalls on Marrakesh and the Taroudant stalls have the additional advantage that you can sit down in the booth at the back. We take advantage of this on a daily basis having a nice rest after a wander round the Souk before coming home. A "morning constitutional" as my grandfather would say. As the shoe shine stall is next door you can get polished at the same time and as the shoeshine also sell cigarettes singly for a dirham each wreck your lungs if you want.
