Chaouen Hostels - Hostels in Morocco Chaouen

Chefchaouen (literally look at the peaks in Arabic) is an enchanting town sitting at the foot of the Rif Mountains. It is a unique location to visit for various reasons: it is small and manageable yet friendly to tourists; the mountain air and atmosphere are relaxing; and one can catch a glimpse of rural life while hiking in the surrounding mountains. The well preserved medina is a 15th century relic from the Muslim civilization of Andulusia. Narrow streets wind through blue white walls where children greet you in Spanish. On the northern side, youll find ground room floors crowded with weaving looms. Many of the artisans are friendly and will invite you in for a chat. (They may also invite you for a smoke; the town is filled with kif and hashish because of its location). The main square in the center of the medina (Plaza Uta el Hammam) is a delightful location to sip fresh orange juice and look at the mountain peaks, the Grand Mosque and the Kasbah walls. The 17th century ruins of the Kasbah runs along one side of the square. The red hued walls of the Kasbah enclose a beautiful garden and a small folk museum.
