It is a region characterized by hilly landscape, valleys and a typical Mediterranean vegetation cover. The construction of the town of Chefchaouen was instigated in 1415 JC by Sharif Mullay Ali Ibn Rachid better known by Ibn Joumaa .. His company was part of a context of local resistance to the Iberian conquest.
The city is so popular among so many travelers from Europe or Asia , the northern culture of Morocco differs from other part of the country and in chefchaouen you will stumble on some native handcrafts that can't be found in other places in Morocco.

If you were to buy something from the street shops or even the stores, one advice would be to always bargain ! Bargain as low as you can, as a tourist you wouldn't know the real price and many moroccan sellers will try to fool you , tho in Chefchaouen it is not as commun as in big cities like Marakech but definetly try to keep the price tag low !
