Ras el-Ma, the spring by the wall

You leave the medina by Bab el-Onsar and reach the water coming down from the mountain: the spring that supplied the town, with public washing places, a bridge and simple cafés beside the stream. It is the cool spot on summer afternoons and the starting point of the path to the Spanish mosque viewpoint.

It works well with children: they can dip their feet in the water while you have a drink in the shade. In spring and after rain, much more water comes down.
