These imitated the narrow and irregular layout of the Andalusian towns, and whitewashed their houses in shades of blue, a custom that is preserved by its current inhabitants.
There will be a walking tour beginning with the exteriors of the Alcazaba and the octagonal mosque, located in the Uta Hammam square and crossing the entire medina we will go up to the Ras Al-Ma spring, to the north and beyond the walls that surround it.
