Head to the Water Temple and admire this semicircular public fountain which is believed to be under the protection of Neptune. Next, stop by the Temimi Foundation, in the heart of the historical center of the city, and learn about the Moriscos people. Later, set off on a guided hike through the mountains to the quaint Berber village of Sidi Medien, which offers a unique insight into the history and culture of the region.
