Chefchaouen


The blue city of morocco Chaouen or Chefchaouen is a small city perched in the mountains of northeastern Morocco, offering a most magical Mediterranean setting. This is a place with significant mythical whitewashed blue corridors and an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. After spending two days discovering the wonders of this blue paradise, I conclude that this is my favorite city in Morocco for its calming atmosphere and unreal beauty.

This city is a balm for the weary traveler, a muse for the avid photographer, and a gem for the adventurer eager for discovery. It is, therefore, with a touch of nostalgia that I invite you to discover this strange medina. In this old town, you can juggle between French and Spanish. This destination where you can take the time to let go and calmly enjoy the cultural diversity of northern Morocco very different from the rest of the country.
