11 Once the crenellated wall crossed, such the surrounding wall of a Kasbah, the view of the vast sported park in which seats Maroc Lodge, fills the guests with a feeling of peace and tranquillity. 1 In addition to its centenaries olive trees, the park also has a wide variety of other trees: almond, walnut, pomegranate, carob, lemon and orange trees and many other local species used for utilitarian or ornamental purposes adorn the estate. 1 A ‘Seguia’ (small canal used for irrigation) runs through the estate and is fed by a natural spring which rises higher up in the mountain. It is edged with aromatic plants such as Sarsaparilla and there are a number of small wooden bridges which allow guests to cross the canal. Visiting the spring would make for a lovely trekking. 1 The estate and the pavilions work together in harmony to afford the guests a feeling of serenity. Flagstone walks wind through the park and visitors will be able to see many local species of birds which come to enjoy the shade of the trees. At the end of a hot summer day the swimming pool, which overflows into the valley, is a perfect observation point. 1 Birdsong can be heard everywhere. Amongst the many species that can be seen in the park the magnificent and brightly coloured "Roller" and the beautiful "Bee Eater" are perhaps worthy of special mention. 1 This enchanting sun kissed environment makes Maroc Lodge a true eco-lodge where you can enjoy nature to the full.
