Near the river, you can see women washing laundry in the way they have for centuries, in their colorful striped aprons which are typical of the region.Trekking in the Rif Mountains will help you encounter a number of different wildlife.  Wild boar is another common animal to find on your trek through the forests.  Species of Spanish trees, olive dot, and cork oak also spread across the area.
