I
first
went
to
this
new
shopping
center
one
week
after
the
official
opening
of
the
huge
lower-level
Carrefour
(Walmart
size),
on
a
weekend
near
the
end
of
Ramadan.
Although
on
this
first
visit
the
down
escalator
was
not
working
and
the
air-conditioning
could
have
been
cooler,
on
subsequent
visits
both
the
up
and
down
escalator
were
working
and
it
was
pleasantly
cool.
The
Carrefour
at
Socco
Alto
mall
seems
to
be
very
well
run
and
it
has
a
very
good
selection
of
food,
vegetables
and
fresh
meats
and
fish.
It
also
sells
ovens,
refrigerators,
electric
appliances
and
school-office
items,
so
undoubtedly
this
store
will
definitely
be
a
major
competitor
the
large
Marjane
and
Acima
supermarkets.
Alcohol
is
now
sold
in
a
special
area
at
this
Carrefour.
If
driving,
you
may
encounter
lines
of
cars
waiting
to
enter
the
parking
area.
At
the
Socco
Alto
shopping
center
there
are
three
levels
containing
trendy
boutiques,
upscale
clothing
shops
and
other
quality
stores,
several
cafes,
and
a
Food
Court
on
the
upper
level
that
has
a
Burger
King,
a
Pizza
Hut
and
a
Domino's
Pizza
among
other
places
to
eat,
with
quiet
and
comfortable
seating
areas.
Socco
Alto
mall,
where
the
Carrefour
supermarket
store
is
located,
is
diagonally
across
from
the
Boubana
Cemetery
at
the
bottom
of
the
mountain,
the
equestrian
center
and
golf
club,
in
a
safe
and
fashionable
area
of
the
city.
Although
it
is
a
great
addition
to
the
new
Tangier,
it's
a
shame
that
a
once-green
area
has
now
turned
into
a
commercial
concrete
jungle.
Nevertheless,
it
is
easily
accessible
to
people
living
on
the
mountain,
"California",
Dradeb
and
Iberia
and
there
is
plenty
of
parking.
Getting
a
taxi
is,
however,
not
so
easy.
Tangier's
upscale
and
very
well
maintained
Socco
Alto
shopping
mall,
that
has
a
fresh
and
clean
appearance,
bright
lighting,
heated
and
cooled,
spacious
and
modern.
The
huge
Carrefour
supermarket
has
everything
and
more,
just
like
a
Walmart.
There
is
a
large
upper
level
food
court
with
plenty
of
seating
areas
at
booths
with
cushioned
seats
or
regular
tables
as
well
as
an
outdoor
terrace
to
enjoy
your
food
and
drinks
in
the
sunshine
and
fresh
air.
The
escalators
and
all-glass
elevators
always
work.
You
don't
have
to
go
all
the
way
out
to
the
Marjane
to
find
bargains
and
quality
items.
Socco
Alto
is
very
much
like
a
shopping
mall
in
Europe
or
in
America.
It
is
popular
with
young
and
old
and
usually
busy,
particularly
on
weekends
and
in
the
late
afternoon
and
early
evening
hours.
