- Duración: 1 h
- Temporada: All year · at sunset
- Para quién: Anyone who can manage a 20-minute climb

Climb · 1 h round trip · A short, steep path from Ras el-Ma to the 1920s mosque, with the whole medina in front of you at sunset.

The Bouzaafar mosque, which everyone calls the Spanish mosque, was built during the protectorate on the hill opposite. Today it is the town's viewpoint. You climb from Ras el-Ma on a dirt path, short but steep: about 20 minutes at an easy pace.
Arrive half an hour before sunset and you will see the blue medina light up as the lights come on. Bring water and a torch for the way down; the path has no lighting and you come back in the dark.
