From Bab Boujloud to Es-Seffarine square we will make a journey through the centuries starting in the 9th to the 19th century, along the walk we will know how these alleys are structured, the different constructions that make up the walls of the medina, in addition from its artisan guilds and neighborhoods such as leather tanners or seamstresses to see their old ways of working. We will know a Medersa and we will finish to the sound of the hammer of the potters working the copper as they did hundreds of years ago. Lunch in a typical restaurant and free afternoon. We recommend taking an optional excursion to explore the medina and see the handicraft and carpet tour for those interested in learning about their art or buying. Accommodation.
