In a nutshell
Spend a few days or a week - indulge and enjoy the senses at a relaxed pace - you will want to photograph everything!
maykal Says: If you have the energy (and enough water) to continue, the viewing platform is the start of many day hikes into the mountains behind Chefchaouen. The track winds up the hillside before evening out and following the valley up to a small village a couple of kilometres away....
maykal Says: It would be a shame to come to Chefchaouen and spend all your time in the medina's narrow streets, completely ignoring the Rif Mountains surrounding the town. Even if you don't like hiking, or don't have time for a long expedition, you can still escape the town and climb up...
maykal Says: Ras el Ma (literally "Head of the water") is where a stream appears from the rocks and cascades down below the lower walls of the medina. At one point, there are a couple of mills over the stream, which is a popular place to come in the late afternoon. I don't have any good...
maykal Says: On the hill opposite the medina, and very visible from many vantage points around town, is a little white structure that looks very much like a church. My guidebook claimed it was a ruined Spanish mosque, but it would appear it has been renovated and whitewashed, and is now...
The famous Blue Streets of the Medina
maykal Says: Chefchaouen is well known in Morocco and abroad for its narrow alleys with houses painted a deep shade of blue, and it is well worth spending a couple of hours getting lost, quite an easy thing to do. As well as being a maze of streets typical of a Moroccan medina,...
maykal Says: Built by Moulay Ismail many moons ago, Chefchaouen's kasbah is nowadays a small museum, worth visiting for the building and its gardens more than for the exhibits. Aside from some old black and white photographs showing locals in traditional clothes and the plaza before the...
maykal Says: The centre of Chefchaouen's medina is the Place Outa el Hammam, a longish open space with the orange walls of the Kasbah on one side and a row of tourity restaurants lining the other, a large tree providing shade in the centre. The restaurants aren't amazing in terms of...
Restaurant Casa Hassan: With terrace on the top
Redang Says: This restaurant offers good local food and the terrace on the top of the building gives good views of the town. Visit the travelogue called "other views of the Medina" to have a look at the pics (the last two ones).There are rooms too.- Fax: (+212) 39 98 81 96
Restaurant Chefchouen: Friendly, Nice, and Cheap
blint Says: The owner's son of our hotel took us to this restaurant which is on the road leading down from the Parador hotel. It was nicely decorated and the food was OK although I don't recommend the Chefchouen couscous which was a bit bland and sparse on ingredients (couscous,onions,...
kit_mc Says: A CTM bus leaves Fes daily at around 11.00 for Tangier via Chefchaouen, takes about 3 1/2 hours and costs 70dh, plus a small baggage fee. The bus can be quite full so it's advisable to book ahead. In Fes, arrive at least half an hour early and make sure that you hand your...

blint Says: Chaouen is supposed to based on the small white town Vejer de la Frontera in Cadiz, Andalucia, Spain where many of the inhabitants ancestors of Chaouen were banished when they were expelled from Spain.I always said that Vejer was the white town that reminded me most of...
blint Says: Due to the fact that until the 1920's the people here spoke a strand of medieval Spanish some words are still strangely Hispanic. I can't remember exactly but words such as jersey or camiseta have their Moroccan equivalent which was explained to me by a local. May be this...
bamian Says: This guy is very clever. I am a fairly cynical person, having told my mother off for trusting the kindness of strangers. And then I fell off my high horse.Abdul El Kholtei of Chez Abdul Carpets appeared to be a friendly carpet merchant with an amusingly effective sales...
blint Says: I am a cynical traveller, but the person I was travelling with was not; therefore when a man asked if we wouldn't mind going to his shop t pick up a business card to give to our friends we did.Surprise , Surprise (not), when we arrived there there were lots of men sitting...
Think carefully: pack light but be prepared!
blint Says: A small rucksack that you can carry on your back. None of those wheelie things due to bad pavement conditions and hills. You don't have to dress as conservatively as you may think. If you are a woman you don't have to cover your ankles etc.. but it is best if you don't wear...

The interest of this town is the Medina and the Kasbah which is inside it.
