A day trip to the colored, beautiful town of Chefchaouen. Chefchaouen or Chaouen, as it is often called by Moroccans, is a popular tourist destination because of its location in the middle of the Rif Mountains and its striking beauty. One distinction possessed by Chefchaouen is its blue-rinsed houses and buildings. Chefchaouen's blue walls are a popular subject of interest. There are several theories as to why the walls were painted blue. One popular theory is that the blue keeps mosquitos away, another is that Jews introduced the blue when they took refuge from Hitler in the 1930s. The blue is said to symbolize the sky and heaven, and serve as a reminder to lead a spiritual life.
