Chefchaouen is the kind of place that constantly pops up in travel websites and magazines alike. A quick search on Google is sufficient to see how many people have fallen in love with this place and talked about it. And it is no wonder that it has gained so much popularity, considering how pretty it is! Almost every house on every street here is painted in a kind of nautical blue – the rest are whitewashed, but these are literally the only two colours you’ll see on walls. No one knows for sure why there’s so much of blue here; some say that it is to shoo away mosquitoes. Others say that the Jews who settled here after fleeing the Spanish inquisition chose to paint their houses blue as a way to remind themselves of spirituality. Whatever the reason is, Chefchaouen is a truly beautiful sight. You’ll love it so much that you’d want to stay here the night.
