Explore the captivating blue streets of Chefchaouen, adorned with colorful pottery and traditional tiles.
Story
Walk uphill into the blue, and let the lanes lead you nowhere in particular — that is the whole point of this place. Walls washed in shades of indigo and chalk are said to cool the eye and, some say, the mosquitoes; the Rif town is steep, so bring water and slow feet. This is for the wanderer and the photographer, not the itinerary-ticker; come early or stay overnight, when the day-trippers drain away and Chefchaouen remembers it is a town before it is a postcard. Morocco always keeps one face for the crowd and one for the patient — here the patient face is bluest.
