Tannery! Tannery! Come! Come!
... tout us. Actually the local word Moroccans use for bringing tourists to their cash cow is called "fishing."
The admission to the tannery was free and we were even given a guide that explained how the manufacturing process works. The facility has been around for eight centuries and nothing ever changes. It is owned by two hundred families that elect managers every year from within. If workers were not happy with the managers and supervisors they ...
