Blue lane in Chefchaouen

The blue north

Tangier, Chefchaouen and Tetouan, between the Strait of Gibraltar and the Rif.

Northern Morocco packs two coastlines and the Rif mountains into a short distance. Tangier faces the Strait of Gibraltar, Tetouan keeps a UNESCO-listed medina, and Chefchaouen clings to the mountainside a hundred kilometres away.
