The last town we went to in Morocco was the little town of Chefchaouen. It was founded in 1471 by Moorish exiles from Spain and also Jews seeking refuge. It´s a beautiful little town set up into the mountains. It is nicknamed “the blue city” because all the buildings are washed with blue.
There isn´t a whole lot to do in Chefchaouen, but it is a great place to chill out and relax, which was badly needed after a big city such as Fez. We did, however, go to the kasbah, which had a beautiful view of the town and surrounding mountains. There was also a great square with lots of restraunts and coffee shops. We found a cute little restraunt in the middle of the square that served us really good Moroccan soup and bread for under $2 including tip. People watching was very interesting. Every once in a while we would see someone leading a goat or two to sell at the market. Joe bought a handmade woven jacket and a shoulder bag to carry his computer which we jokingly refer to as his purse. It was a nice way to end our time to Morocco.
