The sun lifts over the Rif, turning gray ridgelines to soft blue before the town itself reveals its famously painted lanes. You arrive from Fes as the valley opens—olive terraces and cedar-scented slopes give way to narrow streets that feel as if someone spilled the Mediterranean sky and left it to dry on walls, doors, and stairways.
