Photographer’s Note
The time i spent in that charming town among the mountains in the Rif valley was idyllic . I wonder if the mood in there have changed since that ...Maybe the globalised and disorganised tourism had eroded and took away part of the magnetism in Xauen ...as it has happened in many other parts of Morocco . Just take a bus from the quaint sleazy bus station in Tangiers , pay no more than 3-4 Euro and embark in a fascinating adventure crossing through astounding landscapes (similar to the Grazalema and Ronda valleys in Andalucía) , just a quick stop to change the third regional cathegory bus in the fatal white dove of Tetouan , a dark and dusty bus station filled up with crooks and all sorts of Chukryan characters for the perfect film or novel ...Then the latest bus to Chefchaouen , it may be raining , slopes , green valleys and a the real feel of not belonging to your own body forgetting about you were just memorising things that does not serve to the new world you are just entering ...Then the bus station in Chefchaouen , just on the lowest bottom of a hill , nothing blue (so far ...)...Then looking for the old medina , Uta El Haman square and a new world with a more slowly tempo , new fragrancies , the basil flooding the atmosphere , the Basque hefty woman who ownes a pension , blue , cats paradise , kifi , tea , rasta ,take care bro ..., (b)guaja !, take it easy ...and more blue ...I thought it was the most fascinating city in the world but i wonder the shape it shows right now ...if the place is the same as it was or it , like everyone of everything has the capricious or not so ...right to change ...

Hi Miguel, you get get out of yourself in this wonderful blue world. As far as I undrestood from your story, it's not easily reachable place but definitely wellworth to see. The harmony between the blue and turquoise colours on white texture of the walls look fascinating.

Hello Miguel
Lovely inviting stairway to sit on and play guitar!
One could hear all the harmonics of the instrument in the recess as well as appreciate the lovely architecture coloured of well-matched pastel colors.
Best regards.

Miguel your recently uploaded photos really met my wish-to-visit dreamlands in Syria and Morocco. This one is a real treasure, a perfectly surrealistic place. I hope once I could experience it.
Anyway I am really glad browsing your gallery.
Many thanks for sharing, Jalab
