The Beautiful Blue City 💙
I arrived to Tanger and the next day I got ready to visit the blue city that everyone talked about. Yallah!🤩
Tangier to Chefchaouen route is serviced by the CTM Morocco bus company for 50 MAD also you can take the Grand Taxi and it will cost 30 MAD more and takes approximately 2h and a half.
Also called the Blue City, Chaouen is known for its walls covered in different shades of blue. There are a couple of theories as to why the walls of the city were painted this colour. Some believe that it protects against mosquitoes, while others say that the Jewish community, after escaping Europe, painted the walls in a colour that symbolizes heaven. The month of April to June and September to October are recommended for visiting.
1) Try to go on a Monday when is quieter and early morning to not get fried.😂
2)The markets are calmer than in other Moroccan cities.
3) People speak more Spanish than English in this area. 😁

Blue-tiful city of Chefchaoen
I've been to a yellow ancient city of Hoi An in Vietnam, yellow is believed to be the colour of prosperity, then I went here the blue-tiful city of Chefchaouen in Morocco, where blue is believed to be the reminder to lead a spiritual life as it represent the sky and heaven.
It is a perfect place to wonder and take nice pictures, i must say it is worth it to go up to the mountain to see this magical city and definitely a very touristy place.
We drove for 2 hours from Tangier, and booked 1 night hotel stay at Aymane Rooftop. It was a nice small roadtrip up to the mountain.
Before arrival, we though there would be some white and blue accents on the building like those in Greece, but when we got there, man they were not stingy with the blue..it is basically everywhere, from the walls, to the vases, chairs, benches, post boxes, trash cans etc.
We spent 2 days roaming the city, people watching, enjoying the delicious food and hanging out with the locals. It is a super friendly place and so vibrant. There are a few things you can do:
1. Take a guided tour
2. Sample local food
3. Sunset at Spanish Mosque
4. Enjoy the city view from Kasbah
To get to Chefchaouen is easy. There are daily buses to Fes, Tangiers and Casablance. It takes about 4 hours from Tangiers and 6hours from Casablanca.
