Mystical turning with Sidi Lakhdar
Sidi Lakhdar Benkhlouf, bards poet and holy man, gave his name to a village located at forty kilometers of Mostaganem. And which since is the guard of the piles spirit. While leaving for Algiers, it is necessary to forsake the principal road and to engage on that which curves near to the coast. It is one of the areas wine of the country. Here, the stock again takes again root to offer its grapes to a nectar maintained and cultivated by softness of the moderate climate and the impregnation of environments of the desert transported by the Sirocco. Then in the prolongation of the fertile grounds which skirt the coast, Sidi Lakhdar appears. Only the principal crossroads indicates the direction to be taken to join the mausoleum dominated by a strange palm tree. At the end of the rise, shaded by eucalypti, it does not remain that a few meters to make to reach the last residence of the marabout. Mohamed, guard of the place, will not hesitate to discuss about Sidi Lakhdar which would have lived a hundred and twenty-five years, roughly between 1530 and 1650. During August a festival is organized to celebrate Sidi Lakhdar. The program follow one another during three days, Fantasia (parade equestrian) and concerts of chaâbi (music and popular songs).
