... little did they know what was going to happen to them tomorrow for feast day. We climb up 170 steps (i counted) to see panoramic views of the twin hill village, stopping into see a local bread baker (where locals take their bread to him to bake in big ovens), along the medina area with stalls already cooking up mini tagines, couscous and organ brochettes, pass brightly painted little schools and saw an olive press ...

... by muslims from Spain). We entered the Andalusian Gardens, which is part of the old palace grounds, and is very peaceful and shady. Wandering through the narrow laneways watching locals hard at work and play was a wonderful way to see local life. We stopped for mint tea overlooking the ocean and nibbled at delish almond pastries. At the top (Plateforme du Semaphore) had breathtaking views of the ocean and ...

... and you can not really get a spectacular place to stay unless you want to pay more for it. The bathroom on the other hand was a disaster. The toilet smelled funny and was as dingy as I have ever seen. We agreed to stay at least that night as it was late and we were tired. We went down and paid for the first night and then our faux guide asked us what time he should meet us in the morning. Before I could say anything it was agreed that he would meet us at 10 am.
