You step out of the van as the air sharpens and the skyline changes: the low, white buildings give way to bluewashed walls climbing a hillside, and the Rif Mountains press in like a slow, watchful tide. The ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar is still in your clothes—a salt tang and the faint rumble of an engine—when the driver turns off the main road and the lanes narrow into the medina. Chefchaouen announces itself without fanfare: alleys that shade you, doors painted every possible blue, and the distant bell of a goat herder on a ridge.
