Chefchaouen: Highlights of the Blue City, Chefchaouen, Morocco
Chefchaouen, also known as Chaouen or Xaouen,聽is one of the most special places that I've ever visited. Located in the middle of the Rif Mountains, this town is well known worldwide thanks to the bright blue colour used to decorate its houses and streets.聽
