We walk approx. 5 hours down to Aroumd village passing the holy shrine Sidi Chamharouch (2350m). Sidi Chamharouch: the shrine is probably a survival of a very ancient nature cult. on the approach to the village, you may notice a tree, sacred to local tradition, where the Berbers hang strips of cloth and make piles of stones. Aroumd village where we stay the night is the largest village of the Mizane valley, an extraordinary looking place, built on a huge moraine spur above the valley at 1840m. steep tiered fields of potatoes, onions, barley and various kinds of fruit line the valley sides, their terraces edged with purple iris. while at the village, you can take up the opportunity of a hammam and massage for a mere 10mad per person.
