Feeling Blue: A Photo Journey Through Chefchaouen, Morocco

No, not that kind of blue. We’re talking about vivid blue-painted buildings and street corners. The kind of blue that makes your jaw drop at every turn. The kind of blue you can find throughout the streets of Chefchaouen, Morocco.

The city is painted that way because the Sephardic Jews who lived there in the 1930s believed that the color symbolized the sky and heaven. While Jews don’t live there anymore, the tradition of painting the city walls blue lives on.
