Chefchauen, 26 - 27 September, 2015

The town of Chefchauen was found by Jews and Muslims exiled from the Iberian peninsula in the late 15 th century. Chefchauen is the northernmost point I touch on this trip. The town lays in the Rif mountains, a scenic location within the green gorges. The entire town is painted in different shades of blue. The houses, the sidewalks the stairs of the medina, everything. This gives the city a magical charm. The view from the Spanish mosque on one of the neighbour hilltops provides an exquisite view on the medina. The town is calm, much more quiet than all the others we have been to.
The air is fresh, the evenings are almost cold, but the fresh chicken lemon tageen warms up the tourist from the inside.
