the blue pearl of morocco 🦋 wandering through the streets of chefchaouen felt like stepping into a living painting 🩵 there are multiple theories for why the city was painted blue — to represent the mediterranean sea, for religious purposes, to keep the houses cool, and even to keep mosquitoes away! if the latter is true, I vote we start painting more cities like this. I spent two amazing days here mostly putting our maps down and getting lost in this beautiful city. I couldn't imagine a better way to experience chefchaouen. I had the best time finding charming alleys, pretty doorways, and the cutest orange juice stands 🍊
