Yennayer is the New Year’s Day of the agrarian calendar used since antiquity by the Berbers throughout North Africa. They celebrate it from January 12 to 14 of each year, as the start of the Julian calendar. It is shifted of 13 days compared to the Gregorian calendar, and starts on the 14th of each year.

Morocco remains one of the last lands wild vines on earth. As early as antiquity, Pausanias the Periegete noted that the inhabitants of Lixus, a city founded by the Phoenicians on the right bank of the Loukkos wadi, consumed the fruit.

For a long time, we have dreamed of visiting Fez the cultural capital of Morocco, a city steeped in history. We join the small studio that we rented for a week, located a few steps from the medina. What a surprise when I got there! Our host welcomes us in a sumptuous palace, with walls decorated with many mosaics and other arabesques. The place deserves a renovation but, after all, the marks of time make also its charm. We even realize that this palace, called El Mokri, is on the list of monuments to visit on TripAdvisor!
