Travel Blogs from Chefchaouen, Morocco
Shish? Shish?
This is a top pick! The King of Morocco smokes hashish. He must. Why else would he be in Chefchaouen. Chefchaouen is the hasish capital of Morocco, if not the world. Set amongst the picturesque Rif mountains, Chefchaouen is an amazingly laid back place, the opposite pole ...
Fes to Chefchaouen
This is a top pick! ... I had planned to start hitch hiking up to Lisbon today (not alone Mum, before you start to panic) but I couldn't miss out on Chefchaouen - a hippy place in the mountains, in the sun and I might just stay on a couple of nights here. Final comment - New ...

Chefchaouen
This is a top pick! ... we got the 'tourist price' for the shirts, even after negotiation, we still felt that it was worth the experience. Chefchaouen is a town that could have a lot of potential, because the scenery is breathtaking and the town quite charming; that ...
Chefchaouen - Rif Mountains.
This is a top pick! ... really only a half day. We left the city of Tangier behind and journeyed up into the Rif Mountains arriving at our Chefchaouen campsite at lunchtime.The view from the campsite was spectacular as it was perched on the side of the mountain overlooking the ...
Jew Blue and Fields of Marijuana
This is a top pick! ... of summer - yes please!!! We have spent our days drinking fresh orange juice, eating couscous and finally getting on the internet. Morocco is cheap, but not as cheap as an African country should be. The Europeans are buying houses here and driving up ...
Riff Mountains
This is a top pick! ... way of life. We stayed in an absurdly cheap, clean and central hotel, which was full of other travellers. The village of Chefchaouen is located in the Riff mountains and the village itself is a maze of mud brick white and light blue washed houses, shops ...
No paranoia my friends
... in different shades of blue and white and the effect is a beautiful little blue town set against a brown and green landscape. Chefchaouen is mostly a relaxed place, probably due to its status as one of the biggest hashish growing regions around. In case ...
From the desert to the snow
Hallo liebe Leser, ich habe wieder mal ein bisschen Zeit gefunden um ein paar Eindrücke von mir zu ...
Moroccan highlands
After our overnight in Tangier we got a 3 hour bus south to a mountain town named Chefchaouen. It's only 40-odd thousand people but doesn't lack the intensity of Tangier. Again the medina was crammed full of shops and people. Most buildings in the medina ...
Chefchouen
I met a young backpacking couple on the bus to the border. They were from York, England and were part of a university program that encouraged students to hitchhike their way to Marrakesh once a year as part of a fundraiser. Sponsors pay ...
Chefchaouen blue
... like the 2buses on Xmas Day... also hoping the roads are OK and we get there in one piece and I don't get stranded in Chefchaouen. Especially since CTM aren't running their buses still and a local I spoke to last night said that when it rains in Fes, ...

Chefchaouen
The taxi ride to Chefchaouen was hot and too expensive, but I didn't regret our decison to take a taxi once we arrived in the little mountainside town. The moment we pulled up next to the gates of the medina, we were practically mobbed by people trying to ...
Kif in the Rif
... it was more the differences that have been more significant. Maybe because it was so long ago I remember it differently but Chefchaouen, albeit still maintains it's relaxed atmosphere, didn't quite seem as crowded previously (it was still the same time of ...
new friends
... , Italian, and English, we became fast friends with Kim and Valerio, two young Swiss-Italians traveling in Morocco for a few weeks. On the way to Chefchaouen, we discovered that despite telling people I speak Italian when asked why I don't speak French, I ...
Chefchaouen: Blue Morocco
Our first stop in Morocco was Chefchaouen, a village high in the mountains. It is known as one of the "Blue Villages", because the walls and doorframes are painted blue in order to keep mosquitoes away. The blueness of the town as well as its ...
The Blue Souk
... they end up looking alike. As long as I live, however, I´ll never pretend to understand white person dreadlocks. Anyway, I digress. Chefchaouen is famous also for the fact that it's Medina, in which most of the town lives, is blue. The shades of ...
Awesome weekend.
Got somewhat of a late start on this trip, our cab driver took five hours to get there rather than the normal three and a half. Sadie's cousins met us there. We stayed in a decent place for forty Dhs a night, not too shabby. This city is ...
How Many Camels is Mary Worth?
... into a little blue taxi. We were dropped at Place el-Majzen, since most of the streets located higher up in Chefchaouen are inaccessible by vehicles. Getting out of the taxi, a local started chatting with us, giving us directions to our accommodation ...
Chefchaouen
... than the Al-Kasabah, which is the only non-white/blue building in town, with an attractive garden in the centre. But Chefchaouen doesn't need any attractions, the whole point of visiting it was to relax and drink in the atmosphere, which was a ...
Chefchaouen, the turquoise paradise ...
... the next morning to some more pleasant accommodation... That detail attended to, we could have stayed for ever in Chaouen : beauty , calm, fancy cafes and restaurant. No other place in Morocco packs as much charm as Chaouen ... Just come and chill ...
CHAPTER 3 - INTO AND AROUND MOROCCO
... = 13,220 (Trip =2,850 ) Route: Nador > Driouch > Kassita > Al Hociema > Ketama > Chefchaouen Wake up in Africa! What a great feeling. Going through customs and immigration at 6AM - the usual sort of hustle and ...
Who's the Chef?
We had a restless night and Glenn woke in the early hours of the morning with an upset stomach - great! Seems to be an all too common occurance - buses and upset stomachs! He took the tummy drugs, so that we at least had a chance to catch the bus, and ...
Riff Mountains and our first Robbery
Chefchaouen is at the base of the Riff Mountains which is most famous for its cultivation of Marijuana. As I walked around the streets I was constantly asked if I would like to partake in the local delicacy. It started to get annoying. It appears ...
Chefchaouen
I only meant to stay for a couple of nights but after 2 weeks, I fall in love with not only this town, but a Canadian girl named Marina. This two week period cannot be put into words. I make half a dozen friends and Josh is still around. The town is ...
Culture Shock to the 10th Degree
... exfoliation and massage and literally watched the dead layers of skin float down the tile floor as it left our bodies. We leave Chefchaouen tomorrow. We have both really enjoyed the town itself, a small town in a valley of the Rif Mountains. It is a ...
Our epic expedition: The beginning
... These three decided to combine as a cook group, calling themselves 'The Three Ameatos'. But that wasn't enough. When exploring Chefchaouen, then searched for cooking and drinking costumes. The costumes of choice were the local Jallabas, a full length male ...
