Fes, the symbolic heart of Morocco.
This quintessential Moroccan city is thought by most of the country, to be the barometer of popular sentiment. It is here that the movement towards Morocco's independence from France and Spain in 1956 originated, and the scene of violent strikes and riots against oppression and poverty in the 1980s.
A disproportionate share of Morocco's economic and intellectual elite hail from Fes and its a widely held belief that anyone born in Fes is more religious, cultured, artistic, and refined. Kind of like San Franciscans. Naturally, King Mohammed VI's new wife is from Fes.

If Fes is like SF, then I guess the rest of Morocco is like Mississippi?...
