Blue Street in Chefchaouen, Morocco

You'll really love the color blue by the time you've visited Chefchaouen. Inside the medina many of the streets, walls, and doors are a magnificent hue of blue.

Chefchaouen was painted blue by the Jewish refugees who lived there during the 1930s. The beauty of Chefchaouen's mountainous surroundings is enhanced by the contrast of the brightly painted medina. It is this beauty and the relaxed atmosphere of the town that makes Chefchaouen very attractive to visitors.
