The canals of black rocks tortured the diacritic nails and of petrified lavas contrasted with a vast green and flourishing spring, forming wonderful pasturages which the Berbers of Ait Ouaouzguite share, these later leave their traditional villages of foot climbing, their beautiful houses and their champs of Saffron to occupy in spring the Azibs (shepherding) disseminates on the Alpages dominated by the relieves strangely eroded.
