After Tangier, we made our way to Chefchaouen, which is probably one of my favorite Moroccan cities so far. It's a small, quiet town up north in between the mountains. The unique thing about it is that everything in it is painted blue and white so it's very dramatic looking.
The medina in Chef is really cool. While all the medinas are filled with everything you can imagine, Chef's medina is particularly scenic because it falls right behind the incredible mountains.It was a hike to get up there since Chef is slanted on a hill.
As we walked through, we got pulled into a store by the storekeeper who shouted "Marhaban, marhaban!" (Welcome! Welcome!) and telling us that we were his guests and he would give us "good price!" He insisted on showing us every single tapestry and blanket he had. He also had a huge collection of different herbs, spices, and powders.
More pics from the medina.
Some great places to eat, friendly people who speak a lot of English, and a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend Chefchaouen to anyone visiting Morocco. A beautiful city that is worth the hike.
