Walking the Painted Alleys of Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen, located in the Rif Mountains, is famous for its blue-painted homes and paths. The town was founded in the 15th century as a fortress, and today it offers a relaxed mountain escape. Explore the old Medina, taking photos of the colorful flower pots hanging on blue walls.

The Kasbah and Sunset at the Spanish Mosque

Visit the Kasbah Museum in the center of the main square, Outa el-Hammam. For the best views of the town, take a walk up to the Spanish Mosque at sunset. You can watch the blue town turn soft orange as the sun sinks behind the peaks. Chefchaouen is easily reached on a day trip from Rabat or Fes.
