Hidden behind the narrow lanes of the old city lie the tanneries of Fès, where leather is being treated as it has been for centuries.
While looking for the way to the tanneries, a Moroccan tells me to follow and leads me to a door in the alley, removes the mint leaves, knocks on the door. I follow him upstairs, on a staircase that becomes smaller all the time, and then suddenly I arrive on a flat roof. From here, I see the city skyline, the surrounding hills, and below, I have a perfect view on the tanneries I was looking for. Enormous round vats, all filled with coloured liquids fill up the space between the houses. Men are walking around, carrying animal skins, adding water, making colours, treating skins, shouting, putting leather into a vat here and taking it out somewhere else.
