Chefchaouen

Tucked away in the dramatic Rif mountains, Chefchaouen is known for its blue dwellings nestled against the rugged mountain. The cerulean city cascades down the mountainside with pops of unique colors revealing hidden buildings, enchanting cafes, bustling merchants, and obscure alleyways. The center of the town connects each tiled passageway that winds through the city. Even with its popularity, Chefchaouen remains an untouched wonderland in Morocco.
