Chefchouen

On our arrival to The Blue Pearl, we were greeted with a full rainbow.

A little info about this Smurfiest of towns:

Chefchaouen, Morocco, is a picturesque mountain city famous for its blue-washed buildings, earning it the nickname “The Blue Pearl”. Founded in 1471, its distinctive blue color is attributed to Jewish refugees who settled there, symbolizing the sky and God, though other theories suggest it repels mosquitoes or keeps buildings cool. Visitors explore its labyrinthine medina, visit the Kasbah, hike in the Rif Mountains, and enjoy local handicrafts and cuisine in the main square, Outa el-Hammam. – Google Summary

A typical alleyway in the iconic blue. In some locations, local entrepreneurs would wait for unsuspecting tourists to come by to help take pictures for a nominal “contribution”.
