What to do in Chefchaouen

Popular places to visit

The view of the guard tower from the manor house at the Qasaba. There is a single 'jail cell' in the bottom of this tower that reminded me of Casanova's cell in Venice. The top floor of the guard tower was so beautifully finished, that I wonder if it doubled as a living space. https://davenotravels.blog
