Chefchaouen
A mountain town painted blue from the ground up, best seen early before the day-trip buses from Fes and Tangier arrive.
The blue isn't a gimmick added for photos — it dates back to the 1930s and gets repainted by residents every year. Stay the night and the town is a different place once the tour groups clear out, quiet enough to hear the Rif mountains around it.
