Run by the youthful Lahcen and his family, this delightful place aims to introduce guests to Amazigh (Berber) culture, with lessons on mint tea preparation, bread baking and opportunities to interact with village residents. It's about a 20-minute uphill walk from town. Call in advance for someone to meet you.
