1 Day Trip from Fes to Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen the blue pearl of north and Rif mountains. It was founded in 1471 in the heart of rif mountains by jews and Moors fleeing from spain. One of its most dignifying characteristics is its blue houses some say it was the Jews who painted them some say there after fleeing Hitler, others say it’s to keep the mosquitoes away, while some just said it represents the color of the sea. Its approximity to Tangier and the Spanish Ceuta makes it a must stop at destination. Reason behind it weird name is because of the shape of the mountains topping the city that resemble the horns of a goat. Hence Ichawen= horns. The city contains exotic cafes and traditional mosques in Place Uttah Hammam. You can find a beautiful mosque dedicated to the saint Moulay Abdeslam Ben MchichAlami. People tend to visit his tomb situated in a village nearby to get his blessings.
