Medina of Chefchaouen

The Medina of Chefchaouen is the main square in this town located just south of Tangier. Just one glance and you will understand why this city is sometimes referred to as the Blue Pearl. There are many theories as to why the walls of buildings are beautiful shades of blue, but one is that the blue is representative of the sky and the heavens. Picture © Credits to istock/RuslanKaln
