I spent 3 weeks at Jamal's place and that was a nice time. The project of the hostel is in its first steps, so that's quite motivating. We could start building the new bungallow for gests combining diferent techniques.
The place, away of the village is calm enough for enjoying the moroccan country side's charm.
