Grand Socco and Petit Socco

The two squares that explain how the old city works.

The Grand Socco is the large square between the medina and the new town. Taxis, markets and the Mendoubia Gardens all meet here.

The Petit Socco is inside the medina: a small square ringed by old cafés, once the centre of the city's social life.

Sit down in both. Watching these two squares is one of the best free things to do in Tangier.
