Introduction

The Spanish Mosque is a hilltop viewpoint overlooking the blue town of Chefchaouen - a pretty sight. On a hill east of the blue town, it is a great vantage point for the whole blue town panorama (the plain mosque itself is usually closed; visitors come for the viewpoint). Chefchaouen lies in the Rif mountains; from this east hill you overlook the dreamy blue town - a sea of blue houses cascading down the hillside, ringed by green Rif mountains. Especially at sunset, golden light on the blue town is magical.
