Narrow alleys, cobbled walkways, stairs up and down, leading in all directions. Chefchaouen's powder blue buildings mirror the cloudless Moroccan sky - but religious rather than stylistic reasons are behind the design choice. Jewish teachings suggest that by dyeing thread with tekhelel (an ancient natural dye) and weaving it into prayer shawls, people would be reminded of God's power. The tradition lives on in the regularly repainted blue buildings. The walls are adorned with carpets, purses, blankets, paintings and much more. It was quite an adventure to get lost in the tiny lanes and alleys and discover the many berber shops and products. #FindingtheUniverse](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6125502/794a7256-23ae-4dd4-b0d1-fefdd671f654.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Exploring the sights and sounds of the Blue City...Apparently the Jews took refuge here from the Spanish Inquisition and decided to paint the buildings in their traditional #Culture colour, but some also think blue was the colour to ward off mosquitos too! #Chefchaouen #Morocco #Culture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6125502/00e88221-4324-468f-8e54-e216f73fea86.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Such a beautiful place. It’s like wandering through a fairytale. Chefchaouen, or Chaouen, is a city in the Rif Mountains of northwest Morocco. It’s known for the striking, blue-washed buildings of its old town.
