Chefchaouen

Today we traveled to Chefchaouen, a nice little town bordered by the Rif Mountains. The medina here is relaxed and beautiful, full of varying hues of blue against whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs. It has a distinct Andalusian influence, and Spanish is spoken second after Arabic. We explored the endless alleys and shops selling decorated pottery pieces, woven striped textiles, and colorful leather goods. The alleys open into cobblestone plazas with tress and overhanging grape vines. It will be a nice place to spend our last couple of days in Morocco.
