The sands almost wiped Oualata from human memory. In ruins only ten years ago, this former caravanserai in the Mauritanian desert has now won its formidable struggle to survive. An achievement due to the joint efforts of a Spanish humanitarian organization and the Mauritanian government, which managed to revitalize the village by setting up a vegetable garden. It is a story of rebirth.
