Chefchaouen · Sunset walk
Watch the blue city turn gold from the Spanish Mosque
A short climb above town, a white mosque on the hillside and the whole blue city glowing below you.
A short climb above town, a white mosque on the hillside and the whole blue city glowing below you.
The Spanish Mosque sits on a hill just outside the medina. The walk up takes about half an hour through olive trees, and the view from the top takes in the whole town and the mountains behind it.
We time it for sunset, when the blue walls turn gold and the call to prayer rises from the valley. Bring a camera.
Start at the spring at the top of the medina.
About 30 minutes up a gentle path.
Watch the town change color from the mosque.
Head back as the lights come on.
