Hightlights of The Excursion
- The goats perched in the argan trees.
- The striking contrast between the medina’s ocher walls and the deep blue ocean.
- The unhurried pace of a town where time seems to stand still.
- Please note: The goats can be a bit shy and don’t always come out, so we can’t guarantee they will be up in the trees.
