That distinctly European influence continues in Chefchaouen with its bright blue, Andalusian-tiled Medina, and the grand red-hued Kasbah over looking the main square of Outa Hmam.

Chefchaouen is a city perched beneath the shimmering peaks of the Rif Mountains, and the “Blue Town” has a mystical blue-washed Medina, the prettiest and the smallest in the country.
