Lets talk about what everyone loves to talk about

Lets talk about what everyone loves to talk about with Chaouen: The blue streets & homes 💙
………………………
Almost everybody heads to Chefchaouen for one of the most integral parts character - The blue streets and homes 🏠.

So you can imagine, it’s an instagrammer’s paradise 😂.

However, while folks race to get in those good shots, many don’t even realize or pay mind to one ☝🏾 important fact :

These are people’s homes.

So those beautiful alleyways, steps, and doorways everyone seeks to pose on, majority are private residences.
So imagine being a home owner, and you open your door 🚪 to whole photo shoot right in front of your house. Makes for a weird situation, eh?

Still, locals are very kind and understand that Chaouen’s claim to fame is its blue aesthetic.

Just be mindful and respectful if you plan of visiting. 💙

[🚨 Save + Share] Three places you should visit

[🚨 Save + Share] Three places you should visit in Chefchaouen 💙🇲🇦
……………………………
Affectionately known as “The Blue Pearl,” there are some interesting sites to see. Some of these include:

💙 Kasbah Fortress: Vantage views of the city
💙 Plaza Uta El-Hammam: Lively center square
💙 The Medina: Great place to get woven goods

Of course these are not the only places. With a little bit more walking, you might want to explore these gems as well :

▪️The Riff Mountains ⛰️: Slated as the most beautiful mountains in Morocco, and source of the cleanest tap water

▪️ Ras El-Maa Waterfall: A wonderful place to really watch the locals live their everyday lives
………………………………..
All in all, if you are not just heading there for the famous blue streets, you’ll find quite a bit to keep yourself busy.

Drink orange 🍊 juice, & take a nice picture 📸
………………………
So says the sign I’m perched up next to.

[Please excuse that glaring light streak. This is the best we could do. 😆]

While walking with new travel friends 🥰, we happened upon this elderly gentleman selling freshly squeezed orange juice.

His little setup was so adorable, that I just could not pass up the opportunity to snap pictures of it. This gentleman must be very well known, cause he and his little stand are all over Pinterest! He speaks no English, but he is such a sweetheart! 😆💙

If you are passing through Chefchaouen and want to pay him a visit, be sure to walk down :
📍Blue Street

I promise you won’t miss him!
And as I will always say, #supportlocalbusinesses 🇲🇦

➡️ Stay tuned for the little clip of him and I.

Let’s stroll through the medina of the Blue City

Let’s stroll through the medina of the Blue City.
………………………..
So of all the medinas I had seen, I have to say I much preferred that of Chefchaouen. One key reason was the open air concept. You don’t feel as confined as with other medinas, and because the area is quite expansive (with the exception of those “instagrammable streets”), you likely won’t be bombarded by other tourists. Haha

I think the color blue really helped make the experience even more rewarding, because it exudes a calming feeling as you go through the medina.
This is definitely the type of place you would enjoy getting lost in. 💙

Into the blue 💙 :📍 Chefchaouen - The Blue Ci

Into the blue 💙 :📍 Chefchaouen - The Blue City
……………………….
Chefchaouen, affectionately called Chaouen is one of the most charming destinations in Morocco. I honestly think it’s because of a mixture of reasons including :

💙 Proximity to the stunning Riff mountains ⛰️
💙 The serene feeling from the shades of blue
💙 The quaintness of the region

Without a shadow of a doubt, if you are searching for a place bursting with color, this is the region to visit - especially if you are a lover of the color blue!

Speaking of, you might be curious as to why the city is painted blue. There are actually many theories on this, and it seems to continue to be up for debate. Some notions include:

▪️Keeping homes cool during hot months 🥵
▪️Deterring mosquitoes 🦟
▪️To impart a soothing and calming feeling
▪️To follow traditional Jewish customs ✡️
▪️To represent water 🌊

Regardless of the reasoning, one thing for sure is that Chaouen has become one of the most popular places to visit in Morocco 🇲🇦 .
……………………….
So I have to ask :
➡️ Would you visit Chefchaouen ?

One thing about Moroccans, they love their pomegra

One thing about Moroccans, they love their pomegranates and pomegranate juice. I have never seen a place that prides itself so much on this fruit (though I have seen this done for a vegetable - ie. Turkey with corn 🌽).

From the city streets to the mountain regions, if you are in Morocco and you see a pomegranate vendor, pick up a drink!
Thank me later. 😆😋

New day, new city! ✨ ………………………

New day, new city! ✨
…………………………..
My Morocco series is coming to an end soon, BUT I have one more city I have to plug in!

I had read and seen so many images of this beautiful place, that I could not just leave it out.

[I’ll reveal soon where it was 🙊.]

I knew even from the roads heading there, that it would be a lovely experience.
I mean just look at this cute rest stop. 🥰

At least for me, not a single place in Morocco disappointed. It is going down as one of the most versatile countries I have ever visited, and even though I am no longer there, every moment remains imprinted in my mind.
