Starting at Attijania Zaouia Masjid, I stroll through the narrow, winding streets of Chefchaouen. The cool blue walls feel refreshing against the warm sun. As I walk, the scent of spices wafts from nearby stalls, mingling with the earthy aroma of the cobblestone paths beneath my feet. I pass locals chatting in the shade of overhanging balconies, their voices creating a gentle hum. Just a short distance later, I arrive at Mosquée el Ounsar, soaking in the rhythm of this vibrant town.
