What you will visit:
Chefchaouen/Medina (Old Town)
Founded in 1471, the town of Chefchaouen is considered holy. It began to prosper with the arrival of Muslim refugees escaping the Reconquista of Spain. Spanish, Berber, Arab and Jewish neighborhoods thrive here, coexisting in the four main quarters. Chefchaouen is a wonderful enclave to explore and boasts one of the country's most interesting medinas (Old Towns). A photographer's delight, it is one of the few places in Morocco that has an octagonal minaret next to the Grand Mosque. You will also find a historic kasbah and colorful bazaars.
What you will see along the way:

Located in the heart of the Rif Mountains, the picturesque area brims with natural beauty from emerald trees and pastel wildflowers to sparkling springs and mountain vistas.
