Chefchaouen

Visiting Chefchaouen feels like stepping into a dreamlike hillside town where every shade of blue covers the walls, steps, and doors. Tucked into the Rif Mountains, this small city is known for its striking blue-washed medina, which gives it a calm and almost surreal atmosphere. Beyond its photogenic charm, Chefchaouen offers a slower pace and a chance to wander without a strict agenda—whether that’s browsing local crafts, sipping mint tea in a quiet square, or hiking in the nearby mountains. It’s a favorite for travelers looking for something more relaxed and reflective, with a mix of Moroccan, Andalusian, and Berber influences shaping both the culture and architecture. Chefchaouen is just as much about the mood as it is about the visuals, and that’s what keeps people talking about it long after they leave.
