Go ahead, Google \u201cMorocco images.\u201d Right there at the top, you’ll see it: streets and houses painted in all shades of blue. No, it’s not some tourist trap (well… okay, maybe just a little). This is Chefchaouen \u2014 a city in northern Morocco where painting the town blue has been a tradition for centuries. And let me tell you, between those shades and the charming old streets, I had a full-blown photo ecstasy.<\/p>\n

Wipe your phone or laptop screen \u2014 there are a lot of pictures coming up. But first, let\u2019s talk about how to get there, and why everything\u2019s actually blue.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Getting There<\/h2>\n

By bus or rental car \u2014 there are no trains to Chefchaouen. If you\u2019re thinking about renting a car in Morocco, I can recommend LocalRent<\/a> from my own experience.<\/p>\n
