Chefchaouen city Morocco

Chefchaouen, north of Morocco, at the slopes of Rif Mountains, all over the world famous for its blue Medina, the old fortified part of the town characterized for brilliant blue painted roads and houses.
Muslims and Jews escaped from Andalusia (Spain) were the co-founders of the town in 1471. Once forbidden to strangers, Chefchaouen today is one of the main attractions in Morocco. Maybe a little bit far from principal routes, anyway it is a “must” if you want to plan a complete tour of this wonderful country. My suggestion is to stay at least on night to taste daily life and to appreciate evening quiet.

Far from crowds of imperial cities, a full immersion in the blue Medina is an experience you’ll never forget. It is difficult to describe all the vibes you may feel walking up and down along its alleys, meeting friendly but reserved people or exploring local street markets and shops. Nobody knows exactly why inhabitants chose blue colour to paint their homes. Someone says it was a Jew tradition, others say it is a protection
