El Haouaria

A beautiful village of fishermen and master gardeners. A short distance inland from the rocky coast which is subject to the eternal battering of waves and foam, here, the mysteries of the Roman arenas, suddenly abandoned as if after an attack, keep the most astonishing legends.

There exists an enormous camel sculptured by nature in the rock is, according to popular mythology, entrusted with the task of guarding a famous treasure. Only one holy man has succeeded, thanks to lawful magic, in penetrating its secret: his “Open, sesame” brings the stone animal back to life every night and it stands aside to allow “the man with the black cat” to enter a cave overflowing with gold and precious stones.
