Overview
Chefchaouen is one of Morocco’s most photographed towns, and for good reason — every alley, doorway and staircase is painted in shades of blue. It is a calm, walkable place with a laid-back mountain atmosphere.
This day trip gives you plenty of time to explore the medina, climb to the Spanish Mosque for sunset views and taste local goat cheese.
