Chefchaouen - the blue city

Worldwide fame thanks to this place got saturated heavenly flowers that painted most of the buildings of the old part of town. The city acquired through this kind of Jewish refugees, which in the 1930s there was a set here. They were the first to paint their houses in blue - the color symbolizing the sky and heaven. Local residents still liked the idea and the fact that this color, as many believe, repels mosquitoes (which try to stay away from the pure and flowing water).
But today, the original cause is not so important - now a unique blue city attracts crowds of tourists that beneficially affects the well-being of its residents.
