Description
Drive to Chefchaouen, known as “The Blue City of Morocco”, which is also the main city in the Rif Mountain Region.

One theory is that the blue keeps mosquitos away and yet another is that Jews introduced the blue when they took refuge from Hitler in the 1930s. The blue is also said to symbolize the sky and heaven, and serve as a reminder to lead a spiritual life.
