Why Chefchaouen?
Chefchaouen, the blue diamond
Beautifully perched beneath the raw peaks of the Rif, Chefchaouen is one of the prettiest towns in Morocco, an artsy, blue-washed mountain village that feels like its own world. While tourism has definitely taken hold, the balance between ease and authenticity is just right.
The old medina is a delight of Moroccan and Andalusian influence with red-tiled roofs, bright-blue buildings and narrow lanes converging on busy Plaza Uta El Hammam and its restored kasbah.
Long known to backpackers for the easy availability of kif (cannabis), the town has rapidly gentrified and offers a range of quality accommodation, good food, lots to do and no hassles to speak of, making it a strong alternative to a hectic multicity tour. This is a great place to relax, explore and take day trips to the cool green hills.

Best restaurant in our visit to Morroco. Local food with an excellent taste and plate presentation. We came without reservation, the restaurant was full, but they gave us the opportunity to wait until one table was available. We recommend to visit this restaurant, please make a reservation in advance to ensure your access. Also, the beat scene is to eat at the garden, very romantic place.-

Wonderful oasis of peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle outside with a beautiful stylish decor and excellent coffees and teas. Excellent internet service too. We accidentally stumbled into it mid afternoon right. So try as we might we could not get another bite in and can’t comment on the food. But other people seemed enjoying it around us. -

A great tiny restaurant in the Medina. It’s in an alleyway, but go look for it, because the experience is worth it. They have a beautiful interior with mosaic tiles and next to that amazing food. We had a Marocan salad and two tajines. It all tasted amazing and all at an affordable price! -
