Private Day Trip to Chefchaouen from Malaga — Blue City via Tangier

The engine eases off as the ferry slips out of Algeciras and the Atlantic opens like a slate page. Salt wind cuts through the vehicle windows, and for a few hours the coast of southern Spain shrinks into a watercolor line. By midmorning the driver points to Tangier’s harbor—an old doorway between continents—and the road climbs into Rif Mountains that pressure the sky. Chefchaouen arrives not with a single reveal but as a series of turns: a flurry of stairways, an alley that tightens, and then sheets of blue paint catching the sun.
