“Je n’ai pas de point de comparaison donc je peux dire que nous avons vu 3 tortues.Une petite grotte. La magnifique, splendide et superbe plage de santa monica et un tout mini village où il y avait seulement un petit magasin inventé par la première personne qui vous accoste et un autre qui a été ouvert exprès pour nous car j’ai demandé un maillot de foot de taille différente. C’est incroyable cette différence de prix entre le premier qui vous existe chez lui et le deuxième qui a un beau magasin avec les prix affichés et moins chers.J’aurais souhaité voir un plus grand village ou une ville comme Rabil.
