The bluest city in the world. Chefchaouen MOROCCO


Known as the blue city because of the all blue  houses, Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 on the basis of a Berber colony by Muslims and Jews from Al-Andalus. City forbidden to foreigners for centuries, because considered a
holy city, it retains a certain mysticism since it has remained almost unchanged intramural since the 15th century.

The Medina has an original wall intact. It has seven doors which give access to seven distinct districts. The craft activity is very intense, we can cite weaving workshops and woodworking. Getting lost in the stone alleys of the ancient city and staying in one of its private houses is an unforgettable experience.



From Ouata El Hammam square to the emblematic source of Ras El Ma, crossing the Jewish quarter, the Mellah or visiting the Kasbah, Chefchaouen offers the possibility of training us in a world that seems frozen far from modern times and from their stressful pace.
Not far from the city is Talassemtane Park, known for the Akchour waterfalls
and the Pont de Dieu, an irresistible option for hikers. On a cultural level, the city is known for hosting the Alegria festival which is held every year in July. It pays tribute to cultural diversity through music.
