Unes petites reflexions sobre l’esport nacional del Marroc. No, no em refereixo al futbol, que molts habitants del regne alauita segueixen amb molta més passió que nosaltres, ni em refereixo a res que impliqui córrer i suar. L’esport nacional del país és seure a alguna terrassa, passar l’estona i prendre’s un cafè o té.
Això és una bona opció pels cafeters de mena, que sens dubte trobaran al país milers de cafès, molts inspirats en els típics cafès parisencs, on seure’s a parlar, reflexionar o senzillament observar el que passa uns metres més enllà. Cal dir però que la pràctica d’aquest esport, sembla només reservada a persones del sexe masculí.
Tota visita al país hauria d’incloure unes hores d’estada en alguns d’aquests locals, per omplir els sentits de tot el que la vida cotidiana marroquina ens pot oferir: els caos del trànsit, els taxis sobrecarregats de passatgers, els milers de buscavides que intenten oferir els seus serveis per uns pocs dirhams...
En aquest sentit, per tot el país trobem gran varietat i quantitat de cafès. Pel mòdic preu d’un cafè amb llet o un té, no hauria de costar més d’uns 10 dirhams, assistirem un espectacle que de ben segur no ens deixarà indiferent, i tindrem gravat per sempre en el nostre calaix de les memòries dels viatges.
Just a few insides about the national sport in Morocco. And no, I am not talking about football, although there are lots of followers in the Alouite kingdom as well. I am not talking about anything that has to do with sweeting or running either. The national sport is all about getting a chair in a terrace and take some tea or coffee, spending the time without any other purpose than that.
This is a good choice for coffee lovers who will not have any problem to find coffee terraces which are clearly inspired by parisian café places. Without hesitating at all, I assure that moroccan people love chatting and share their daily experiences with their friends, or better said, with their male friends. Notice that only men are" playing the national sport" in terraces...
But as a tourist i must say it is really advisable to sit down in this coffee places and then pay atention the way how they life and life in the streets: traffic jams, passenger overload taxis,thousands of go-getters in the streets...
