Morocco - Chefchaouen

Morocco is the last country of our 6 month adventure.

To get to Morocco we travelled by boat from Tarifa in Spain to Tangier in Morocco.It was the first time that either of us have entered a new country by boat and it was quite an interesting experience.

A port town with not that much to offer in the way of tourism, Tangier was only a stopping point for us on our journey to the Blue city of Chefchaouen.

Chefchaouen is a popular weekend destination for European tourists and is the hashish capital of Morocco. You can’t step outside your hotel without someone offering you the drug. Still, Chefchaouen is a very pretty, cat-filled, little city that offered us a nice easy introduction to the ways of Morocco.

Before coming to Morocco we had heard from several other travellers that the people are not very friendly and only want your money. Thankfully though, we haven’t found this to be the case. Their are certainly lots of touts here and plenty of people do hassle you for money - but so far we have definitely managed to met enough genuinely friendly people to maintain good spirits.

At a bus-stop one many even pretended to throw his midget friend that he was carrying onto Amie!

Hiking in the Sierra Nevada

Granada is the closest town to the Sierra Nevada mountains, putting in range of some great hiking trails. With some detailed (yet not entirely straightforward) directions in hand, we set off for some fresh air and sunshine in the hills. The track passed by olive groves, autumn trees, a tiny church and farmhouses. Apart from one other hiker, a mountain biker and a few locals, we had the whole area to ourselves. After 16km in sneakers with hardly any grip remaining, we were rewarded with stunning views of the snow-capped mountains. On our second walk we had to make up our own route after the instructions failed us, however we stumbled upon an enormous dam and perfect vistas so it ended up a success.
