There is a city in Morocco that is absolutely different from the others. This is Ifran. The houses here are in Alpine style, well-groomed lawns - everything is like in European small towns. And all because the climate allows you to ski here in winter, and summer is not as hot as in Marrakech. But one monument attracted me in this town. Stone lion. It is located in the central part of the city, surrounded by greenery, and in order to take a picture with it without tourists, you need to try. This is a monument to the last Barbary lion killed in the Atlas Mountains in the 20s of the last century.
