Tangier to fez via chefchaouen 3 days tour Chefchaouen is located in the feet of two horn-like mountains, Megou and Tisouka. The people of this region built this city during the early wave of Spanish invasion of Northern Morocco. They built it as a hiding point of the resistance. The name Chefchaouen even means, “Look at the horns in Tamazight” (Moroccan Native Language). Therefore, the Mediterranean identity of the local shows itself in the blue washed walls of the city’s inside.
