Highlights of Chefchaouen, Morocco

 



Those blue buildings are part of a gorgeous town...village in the Atlas Mountains called Chefchaouen.

Many people will just call it the Blue City, and there are many stories for the origin of the blue, but one thing is for sure, this blue is very stunning.  

Yes, you can say the first words that come to mind when I think about Chefchaouen is Doors, Cats, and Obviously, the color Blue (blue like Cinderella)

Blue alleyways with charming details on doors and around doorways, arches and entryways.

And even feline friends that greet you at every corner…literally.

There are oodles of cats but not oodllea of poodles or dogs for that matter.

When you walk past the restaurants in the main square, the first left by a place that has a Starbucks lookalike logo has a wonderful shop that has been there since my first visit in 2017. The wind picks up the scents that fill this shop.

If the scents wafting through the air doesn't draw you in, the colors of the soaps and solid perfumes will. My personal favorite is a dark forest green solid perfume and yellow soap but I already forget what it's called. It's very citrusy and clean.

Go on in and take a huge whiff of everything!


Chefchaouen will call to all your senses and my only suggestion is to take it all in slowly as there is so much to take from such a small town in the Atlas Mountains.
