Chefchaouen
Surrounding Chefchaouen, the Rif Mountains rise like an open invitation. Trails wind through the hills, leading to overlooks where valleys roll out in every shade of green and the peaks stretch toward forever. Lace up, wander a while, and let the views do the rest.
Chefchaouen has a way of sneaking into your heart with its blue-washed walls, slow-rolling vibe, and mountain charm. Wander the winding lanes, pause for a tagine or mint tea, and let the rhythm of the place carry you. It’s the kind of town that leaves its fingerprints on your memory long after you’ve headed home.
The city's unique blue color scheme dates back to the 15th century when Jewish refugees settled in the area, bringing with them their tradition of painting buildings blue. Over time, the practice spread throughout the city, creating a visually stunning and distinctive atmosphere.
Chefchaouen offers visitors a charming and tranquil ambiance. The city's Medina, or old town, is a maze of narrow alleyways lined with blue and white buildings adorned with colorful flower pots, creating a picturesque setting. The streets are filled with shops selling local handicrafts, including woven blankets, pottery, and traditional Moroccan slippers.
