This was taken at the argan oil women's beauty cooperative, Marjana, about 30 minutes from Essaouira. It was a joy to be welcomed by drumming, singing and dancing before the obligatory oil extraction demonstration and sales pitch got underway. And it was sheer magic when this worker who was in her 80s got up to dance for us.

I have posted another clip where you can see this same lady at work, sorting almonds: http://youtu.be/ovV-LYmeiE8
