This month, we’re sharing photos from our recent trip to Morocco. January will be Part 1, February will be Part 2
(There are just too many good photos for one month!)

Morocco is a country of contrasts: the cities, with new, old, and ancient areas, the mountains, and the deserts. We were fortunate to work with the knowledgeable people at Experience Morocco (https://www.experiencemorocco.com/), who ably assisted us with our two-week itinerary. Hopefully, these photos will show some of the many facets of our trip to Morocco.

Wander Wednesday

Chefchaouen is also known as “The Blue City.” Just inland from Tangier, in northwest Morocco, “Chaouen” enjoys a Mediterranean climate and is known for olives, figs, and other fruits. Perched on the slopes of the “horned” mountains, (the meaning of “chaouen”), it was founded in the 1400s as a military outpost and settled by Muslims and Jews fleeing from Spain. Subsequent wars and takeovers led to a growing population of exiled Andalusians who built walled homes in the Granada style. Spain conquered Chefchaouen in 1920, and it finally became part of Morocco in 1956 with Moroccan independence. Today it is a popular tourist destination for locals and foreigners alike. The medina (within the walls) has many shops, restaurants and hotels. Why are the walls painted blue? Different people will give you different answers. Part of the fun will be discovering that for yourself!

Travel Tip: Be prepared to climb stairs!
