HISTORY :

Chefchaouen, nestled in the Rif Mountains, unfolds its story like a cherished manuscript. Founded in 1471 by Moulay Ali Ben Moussa Ben Rached El Alami, the city has witnessed the ebb and flow of civilizations, from Spanish influences to the bustling trade routes that traversed its narrow streets. Its name, "The Blue Pearl," reflects a history woven with tales of Andalusian refugees, Jewish settlers, and the mystique of the Moroccan mountains.
