Chefchaouen, the Blue City

Blue-washed lanes, mountain air and slow Rif mountain mornings.

Overview

Tucked in the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is famous for its blue-painted streets. Come for the photos, stay for the relaxed pace and mountain walks.

We time your walk for the soft light, visit weavers and goat-cheese makers and leave time for tea above the medina.
