You will find all types of transportation, some of them home made.
The snake charmer usually plays the flute, and the cobra, apparently delighted, rears half its length in the air and sways its head and body.

At sunset, people from everywhere arrive at the square and the only thing you can think off is food, due to the smell of cooking meat and fish, in the air.
Orange juice is really appreciated among moroccans.
