The Blue City of Chefchaouen, Day trip from Tangier
Duration
8 to 9 hours
Overview
-
Leave Tangier towards Chefchaouen, the Blue City: the driver takes about 2 ½ hours through the Riff Mountains, passing by small Berber villages and the most breathtaking landscape. Chefchauen is famous by the blue lime-washed houses, busy squares, steep alleyways, and the best way to discover this holy town is to wander around it taking in the atmosphere. Cut into the sides of two mountains, Chefchaouen is a city with blue and white lime-washed houses. A powerful charm that you really can feel in the square, in the cobblestone medina. Sat on the terrace of a café, you can enjoy the attractive view of the grand Tarik-Ben-Ziad mosque whose octagonal minaret is inspired by that of the TORRE DE ORO in Seville.
