Pause intermittently to revel in the landscape’s allure, relish the refreshing air, and immortalize picturesque moments through photography.

Nestled inland from Tangier and Tetouan, Chaouen, affectionately known as Chefchaouen, traces its origins to a 15th-century fortress. Renowned for its azure-washed dwellings, artisanal wool crafts, and delectable goat cheese, the town’s appellation stems from the mountain peaks’ resemblance to a goat’s twin horns (chaouen).

Traverse the medina to discover Arab-Andalusian traditions and wares. Pay homage to the 15th-century Grand Mosque and kasbah at Plaza Uta El-Hammam, emblematic of Chefchaouen’s multicultural heritage.

Embark on a tranquil interlude at the famed Ras El-Maa Waterfall, immersing in the symphony of cascading waters amidst verdant hills. Continue your odyssey with a leisurely ascent to the Spanish Mosque, affording sweeping vistas of the cityscape. Savor a delectable lunch at the plaza or a rooftop eatery, savoring the spectacle of daily life. Beat the heat with a riverside repast on warmer days.
