  Asni, Morocco: Hustlers' valley
Asni is a village right on the foot of the High Atlas Mountains.
Asni is not really a village, more than a cluster of villages spread around the river valley of Moulay Brahim.
Asni can be darned cold in winter, and a pleasant hideout in summer, and it also serves as a possible starting point for trekking in the mountains.

Asni will be providing live music between films in the foyer of the Embassy theatre at the Lord of the Rings marathon on Wednesday (17 December).
