I do not travel (always) alone

Central Morocco, found a guy with his bike. One minute and we are friends, and now we travel together for a while. Same old story, we are travellers.
We got lost in the Atlas mountains, central Morocco. But a beautiful berber family hosted us.. here’s a small video of our journey.
Thank you Saad, you rock. Maybe one day we will ride together again, Inshallah.

Tifnit, another Moroccan pearl

Riding my bike on the desert sand along the south coast of Morocco, 50 miles south of Agadir, I discovered this small fishing and surfer village.
I then decided to stop for lunch here and I met Mohamed, a gentleman who runs a small beach restaurant for over thirty years.
Mohamed made me delicious grilled sardines and a fantastic Moroccan salad which I ate in front of the ocean.
As always, when you get lost you come across wonderful places like this.


Chefchaouen, the beautiful blue

“The special appeal of Chefchaouen goes beyond its prime mountainside location. Travelers are fascinated by the surreal impression it leaves. The facades of its houses are painted blue and white, so that the whole city appears to be drenched in azure.” from visitmorocco.com - and I can’t agree more.

Chefchaouen is much more than just a pretty face. I spent here a couple of days and it worth every single second, the blue city is something magical. Getting lost in its narrow streets in the midst of the beautiful houses all painted in blue is extraordinary, sipping a tea in the square in front of the casbah is mandatory.

Chefchaouen is a must for travelers and also a paradise for hikers. The surrounding mountains are full of tempting walking trails. Choose any of them and discover an entirely different, remote side of Morocco: the Rif Mountains.

I’m in love with Morocco, that’s not a secret, is the 4ᵀᴴ time here but I’ve never visited this pearl, the "Little Blue City", something incredible.
