What to do and see in Chefchaouen, Tangier-Tetouan Region: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
This stunning Moroccan city in the Rif Mountains was originally built as a fortress in the 15th century. The mountains towering over Chefchaouen resemble a pair of goat’s horns, and, perhaps not coincidentally, the creamy native goat cheese is one of the most popular regional treats. Architecture enthusiasts will marvel at the Jewish-inspired blue-tinted buildings, octagonal mosque and Spanish ruins.

It was an easy hike up the mountain to the Spanish mosque which rewarded us with a magnificent panoramic view of Chefchaouen. We hiked up the back way from the car park area via a goat path near the cemetery. We hiked down a path that had steps that seemed like the more public way to go to and from. Frankly the hike up was more enjoyable. Spectacular view!

Place Outa el Hammam is the main square of the Medina of the fantastic town of Chefchaouen, in the North of Morocco. This is a place, where you can see the main Kasbah (the most important and historical building in the town, now a museum), the Big Mosque (the most important religious building in the town) and some souvenir shops and restaurants. Also it is close the Medina, so it is a very good place to begin or finish the walk around the old town. Here is where people meet and always there are music and shows. Lunch or dinner herr, while you see people is fantastic.
