The Blue City

Chefchaouen, or Chaouen as it is also known, is a charming walled city in the north of Morocco. (1)
However, it has only really been open to visitors for about a hundred years. The city sits in the Rif mountain
range and its position near Tangier has helped make it a popular tourist destination.
Chaouen’s is often called ‘the blue pearl’ because most of the houses in the old town are painted different
colours of blue. Nobody really knows why this, but there are many theories. (2) It has also been
argued that the blue walls keep the buildings cooler in summer. Yet another idea is that it started for
cultural reasons. Whatever the origin, the many shades of blue of all the buildings make it a beautiful city
to walk around.
(3) It’s not as busy, noisy or crowded as other cities such as Fez or Marrakech, and there’s plenty
for visitors to do. Take an early-morning walk round the city and see the many old streets. Later on, visit
the parks and historic buildings, and enjoy delicious traditional and modern food in restaurants or from
street sellers.
Chaouen is well-known as a great location for shopping and it’s especially famous for its clothes and
blankets made of wool. (4) That’s when sellers come to the lively the market in the city centre,
where you can buy anything from fruit and vegetables to handmade crafts.
If you like being active, the area around the city is great for hiking and the views are stunning. Many people
choose to walk up the Rif Mountains or in the nearby Talassemtane National Park. (5) You can’t
swim there, but it’s well worth climbing to the top.
