“Nice typical mountain town with interesting history and few tourists. - Nice tour of the various sections of town with some basic historical facts, a very non-touristy town compared to Chefchaouen, but visited a nice cooperative to buy souvenirs and were taken up to the rooftop for a view of the town and surrounding mountains.” (Reviewed at: 2025-01-07)
