Ouarzazate is a three hours' drive away from Marrakech and is a very busy place because it is the staging place for the Sahara desert. There are lots of tours leaving Marrakech every day for overnight stays in the desert and most of them go through Ouarzazate. We would meet a lot of them at the place where we later had lunch and also on the way back to Marrakech. We see caravans of 4x4 SUV's clogging the road. My driver spoke more Spanish because of visitors from Spain than English. So we communicated in Spanish. Sophie's Spanish was better than mine, mine is limited to telling people in Spanish how to take their medicines. I can't make any conversation in Spanish. He calls those vehicles 'quatro quatro'.
