In a richly illustrated article, signed by journalist Camila Lima, Casablanca is presented as a destination that abounds with a creative industry, honors women at the head of haute cuisine and is home to prestigious hotels.
“Hollywood has always known how to make an impression. Inscribing Casablanca in the collective imagination of the West is an example of this. However, the largest city in Morocco, which gave its name to one of the greatest classics of American cinema, far exceeds the plot carried by Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart,” underlines the daily.
The O Globo article highlights Casablanca as the country’s financial center, with direct flights from Brazil recently established by Royal Air Maroc.
It is a place where street Art and creative industries thrive, where young people aspire to build their future and where women enjoy freedom, adds the text, attributing this progress to the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI since His accession to the Throne in 1999.
According to Camila Lima, “one of the greatest surprises (or wonders) of a trip to Morocco lies in the fact that you can spend hours contemplating the ceilings, walls or floors, such the richness of the details and the precision of the artisanal work fascinates. These age-old techniques are reflected in every centimeter of the buildings. On a broader scale, the architecture of Casablanca is equally captivating, dominated by geometric buildings made from fine materials, embodying the essence of Art Deco.”
These buildings recall the era of the French protectorate, she points out, adding that traces of the Berber tribes, who inhabited the region millennia ago, also remain, with colorful and vibrant diamonds that illuminate the city.
Another visual experience is to stroll through the Art District, which stretches from La Corniche, the coastal strip, to the Nevada Skate Park. This place is dotted with works with futuristic designs and optimistic messages, created by more than 20 artists, many of them women.
-“Morocco has made incredible progress in promoting the role of women in society. Today, they occupy positions of great responsibility. The new generation is dynamic, curious and hungry for knowledge,” comments Sarah Hamizi, one of the first women to run a Barbershop in Casablanca, in this article.
The article also mentions the historic Habous district, where there are souks full of carpets, ceramics and spices, as well as fashion boutiques specializing in particular in caftans and luxury slippers.
O Globo devotes particular attention to luxury hotel structures which offer their customers high-end services and a unique Moroccan gastronomy experience.
“In Morocco, cooking is above all the prerogative of women. They are the source of the wonderful recipes that constitute its culinary heritage. It is a cuisine passed down from generation to generation, tasty and fragrant,” concludes the daily.
