Chefchaouen شفشاون‎, Morocco.

Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains, just inland from Tangier and Tetouan at the top of the Rif Valley. The city was founded in 1471, as a small fortress, which still exists to this day. The Medina is painted blue.

 

The countryside around it, the Rif Valley, has a reputation for being a prolific source of kief. The Chefchaouen region is one of the main producers of cannabis in Morocco, with extensive cannabis plantations along the valley. Hashish is subsequently sold all over town. Alcohol is strictly forbidden.
