Must-see attractions
Kasbah
Chefchaouen
　　If you're getting tired of blue, Chefchaouen's 15th-century clay-brown kasbah contains a lovely Andalusian-style garden, a former prison, the small Center for Research and Andalusian Studies and even smaller art gallery (only open during exhibitions). One of the fortress' 13 spires, the Portuguese Tower, named after the Portuguese prisoners who...
Medina
Chefchaouen
　　Winding alleyways, cute doorways and charming plazas all in many shades of blue – this is what has attracted millions to this tiny village in the Rif Mountains, and there's no sign tourism will let up. Despite overcrowding, Chefchaouen's medina is still well worth the visit. 　　The heart of the...

Horno Bab El Ain
Chefchaouen
　　A traditional bakery; locals still bring their bread dough and bastilla (savoury-sweet pies) to bake here. ...
Oued Ras El Maa
Chefchaouen

Bouhachem Regional Nature Reserve
Chefchaouen
　　One of two parks in the Rif Mountains, Bouhachem is exceptionally beautiful and covers an enormous territory. The forest has various species of oak and maritime pine, and is home to an important number of birds, mammals (including the rare Barbary macaque) and reptiles. Less visited than neighbouring Talassemtane, hikers...
Spanish Mosque
Chefchaouen
　　The mosque was built by the Spanish in the 1920s, but never used. It fell into disrepair and remains closed, but the grounds out front make for a perfect place to behold the blue city and watch the sunset dip behind the green hills with a freshly squeezed orange juice...
Plaza Uta El Hammam
Chefchaouen
　　The bustling heart of the medina is the shady, cobbled Plaza Uta El Hammam, which is lined with cafes and restaurants, all serving similar, rather uninspired fare. It is also where you'll find the kasbah and Grand Mosquée. The large tree at the centre makes for a great meeting point...
