  4. Medina craft shops and showrooms

    Tetouan's medina has the usual mix of craft shops and showrooms for the souvenir hunter. Wood and leatherwork are the local specialities. Unique to the Rif are the eye-catching mendeels (hand-woven, brightly coloured striped cloths), worn by farmers. The best place to buy them is from the women on the tiny square to the northeast of Bab er-Rouah. The tannery is the best place to browse for leatherwork.
