Chefchaouen, the Blue Pearl in Morocco
Chefchaouen is one of the prettiest city in Morocco. Located nestled in the Rif mountains, it’s characterized by bright-blue buildings and narrow alleys. The Andalusian influence mixes perfectly with Moroccan authenticity and the result is amazing. We reached Chefchaouen from Fez (you can read our experience in this city here). There are different options: the public bus, an excursion or a private transfer. We chose the public bus because the private transfer is economic if you find other people to go with otherwise it’s very expensive. That’s why we took the bus. It’s a long journey (approximately 4 hours) but you can see the landscape and different villages along the…

How to spend three days in Manchester
Manchester, the best choice if you want to have a quick but interesting getaway. It always intrigued me and finally I had the opportunity to visit thanks to VisitManchester . Even if it was the middle of summer the weather was so cold that it looks like winter but I was prepared and you know, I like gloomy weather like the one UK can offer. I stayed in Lowry Hotel located in Salford Quays, the perfect waterfront location for visiting the city. It has been transformed from industrial dock to modern cultural hub. A great idea of renovation. The first impression when I was arrived was that Manchester looks like…
