Today answer several questions, such as: (Are they expensive? Is it worth the stay? How is the experience? I will clarify all that in this post!馃晫馃毄馃審
Continua mi gran experiencia en Marruecos exactamente en Marrakech, en este post te contare mi experiencia hospedandome en un (Riad) probablemente es primera vez que lees la palabra pero un riad es sinonimo de "arquitectura" marroqui, son muy famosos por sus colores y por poseer un espacio abierto en forma de "Cour" que puede ser fabricado en una planta superior o en el centro de la casa! hoy responder varias preguntas, como: ( son costosos?, vale la pena la estadia? como es la experiencia? te aclarare todo eso en este post!馃Л馃崓
An economic reserve馃尦馃毄/ Una reserva economica馃審
As you can see, the Riad that we reserved was done more than a month in advance. If you want to visit Morocco, I recommend you in the spring season when the weather is quite pleasant! However, don't worry, a Riad usually comes with air conditioning if you can't tolerate high temperatures! We got this on Booking and it had a good reputation of 9.5, the price? It is around 45-60 euros, quite cheap! Normally you get the Riad in the center of the city so it has its advantages and disadvantages, such as not all the streets of Marrakech have access to vehicles. This Riad, for example, does not have road access so you will have to walk about 15 minutes to the main avenue, a bit annoying because you have to carry your heavy suitcases!馃ご馃惈馃崓
Como puedes ver el Riad que nosotros reservamos lo hicimos con mas de un mes de antesedencia, si quieres visitar Marruecos te recomiendo en la epoca de primavera cuando el clima es bastante agradable! sin embargo no te preocupes un Riad normalmente viene un aire acondicionado por si no toleras las altas temperaturas! conseguimos este en Booking y tenia una buena reputacion de 9.5, el precio? ronda los 45-60 euros, bastante economico! normalmente los Riad los consigues en el centro de la ciudad asi que tiene sus ventajas y desventajas como por ejemplo no todas las calles de Marrakech tiene acceso a vehiculos. Este Riad por ejemplo no tiene acceso a carretera asi que tendras que caminar unos 15minutos hasta la avenida principal, un poco molesto porque debes cargar con tus maletas pesadas!馃Л馃審馃毄
Tradition vs security and privacy馃晫馃毄/ Tradicion vs seguridad y privacidad馃審
Beautiful architecture馃晫馃毄
We stayed four days in the Riad and despite not being very comfortable in terms of size and privacy in the bathroom, it is one of those experiences that you only have once in your life, so it is worth knowing how Moroccans live together, and a Riad It allows you that communion with the owner of the facility and we learn about their culture! however if you want privacy, comfort and luxury I recommend a hotel. We conclude that an experience here would be better at a hotel located on a main road.馃實馃
Nos quedamos cuatros dias en el Riad y apesar de no ser muy comodo en cuanto a tamano y privacidad en el bano es una experiencia de esas que solo tienes una vez en tu vida por tanto vale la pena conocer como conviven los marroquis, y un Riad te permite esa comunion con el dueno de la instalacion y aprendemos sobre su cultura! sin embargo si quieres privacidad, comodidad y lujo te recomiendo un hotel. Nosotros concluimos que una experiencia aqui seria mejor en un hotel ubicado en una carretera principal.馃
What does its architecture and typical food consist of?馃晫馃毄/ En que consiste su arquitectura y sus comidas tipicas馃審
I don't know what a French breakfast is like but I have been told that there is a mixture between Moroccan and French! For example, our breakfasts were practically the same, tortillas and homemade bread made with various types of flour, fruit jams and orange juice! Regarding the architecture, it is quite fresh, colorful and pleasant. Despite the fact that they are small houses, you do not feel suffocated between the walls, everything is well distributed! And of course the tradition in this country is houses with an open floor for breakfast or tea at nightfall!馃審馃Л
No se como es un desayuno frances pero me han dicho que hay una mezcla entre lo marroqui y lo frances! por ejemplo nuestros desayunos eran practicamente lo mismo, tortillas y pan casero realizado con varios tipos de harinas, mermeladas frutas y jugo de naranja! sobre la arquitectura es bastante fresca colorida y agradable, apesar que son casas pequenas no te sientes sofocado entre las paredes, todo esta bien distribuido! y claro la tradicion en este pais son casas con un piso abierto para desayunar o tomar el te en el anochecer!馃ご馃審馃晫
It seems to me that despite being a "macho" culture, even though they are very open, I saw many paintings of women showing their culture, many of the decorative objects are African and of course that was to be expected being a North African country! It is very rare to see that French influence in architecture and decoration! they are very reserved with their tradition, religion and identity! I told my wife that they don't like tourists, they tolerate them because they live off of it!馃ご馃審
Me parece que apesar de ser una cultura "machista" aunque ellos son muy abiertos, vi muchos cuadros de mujeres mostrando su cultura, muchos de los objetos decorativos son africanos y claro era de esperarse al ser un pais africano del norte! es muy raro ver esa influencia francesa en la arquitectura y decoracion! ellos son muy reservados con su tradicion, religion e identidad! le decia a mi esposa que ellos no gustan de turistas, los toleran porque viven de eso!馃毄馃崓
What did I learn about Riads?馃晫馃毄/ Que aprendi sobre los Riad馃審
I learned that the Riads come from those Persian origins with an Islamic mix! therefore they are very old constructions, since the Romanesque era, constructions with Riad architecture were already seen. And it spread to various parts of the world!馃毄馃審

Visit this cooperative of women who make various types of products with seeds that are harvested from the south of the country, as you can see they use a very old stone tool that grinds the seeds producing an oil and a paste! the oil is used for various beauty products the paste... I don't know xD don't ask haha! but force is required to move the tool, it is quite interesting to learn what they do to survive! Imagine how necessary these cooperatives are for them who don't even know how to speak English, they only know the Berber and Moroccan language.馃晫馃審
