Ceuta to Chefchaouen

This morning from window of our room in Ceuta, Spain there was a beautiful view of the Rock of Gibraltar across the straight.

After breakfast we walked around the square outside the Parador. Then we caught a taxi to the border.

We walked across the border into Morocco and got a second taxi to take us back to our rental car.

The town on the other side of the border is Fnideq. From there we drove south about an hour to the town of Chefchaouen where we are staying at Puerta Azul Hotel

We had tea while we were being checked in
