Writing about Safi, Duarte says: "The city is very rich in wheat, meat and fish and a great many horses which can be bought from the Arabs. One can also find a lot of gold that the Arabs transport by land from Guinea, and many leather goods, honey and wax, as well as other goods from which they reap high profits" (Duarte, 247) Once again, no wonder the Portuguese took Safi, building fortifications |
