Chefchaouen Morocco
Chefchaouen or Chaouen, as it is often called by
Moroccans, is a popular tourist destination because of its
proximity to Tangier and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
The name refers to the shape of the mountain tops above
the town that look like the two horns (chaoua) of a goat.
"Chef Chaouen" derives from the Berber word for horns,
Ichawen. One distinction possessed by Chefchaouen is
its blue-rinsed houses and buildings.
