Introduction

The Médina of Chefchaouen is a blue old town set in the Rif Mountains, founded in the 15th century by Muslim and Jewish refugees. Tiered blue-and-white houses climb the slope; squares, fountains and craft workshops weave together — Morocco's most photogenic and tranquil mountain maze. The blue shifts from misty dawn light to deep noon blue; every alley corner is a postcard frame.
