As we enter the streets of its medina (old city), we will feel as if time has reversed: the guild structure is still present in the work, the narrow streets allow no other means of transport than donkeys, and a constant swarm of people moves through the labyrinthine alleyways, where we will be amazed by neighborhoods such as the Andalusian quarter and magnificent mosques and Quranic schools.
