Hola, soy Candelaria, viajera de nacimiento, mi primer vuelo de avión fue a los 9 días, y he vivido en medio mundo. Llegué a Marruecos en 1987 como una joven viajera, pero nunca imaginé que podría quedarme aquí. Sin embargo, vivo en Chaouen desde el 2004, esta ciudad me cautivó. Me he dado cuenta que a la gente le gusta conocer Chefchaouen conmigo ya que aprecian mi experiencia como extranjera bien adaptada a una cultura tan distinta a la mía. Hablo inglés, francés, árabe e italiano, me defiendo en muchos otros idiomas! Tengo una casa de huéspedes en Chaouen (Riad Jibli) que me mantiene ocupada. Bienvenidos a Chefchaouen, será un placer enseñarles la ciudad y las razones por la cual es tan especial, más allá de sus muros azules!
Candelaria is an excellent tour guide. She will bring you around like in a dance, telling about the history and the new times for this amazing city. You're goingo to understand more about not only the town but also the culture, and we couldn't ask for more. Thanks!
Completely tailored tour through the streets of Chefchaouen. We had already seen a fair bit of the Medina, so Candelaria made sure to tailor the tour to more ‘local’ spots that we would never have found on our own. It was fascinating hearing about how Chaouen has changed over the last 15-20 years from her experience living here. Highly recommend, you’ll be well looked after with her.
I’ve very lucky that crossing path with candeleria, she’s very informative and really accommodating. We crossed almost every corner of the city and the best part are meets a lot of local artist, bakers, carpenters, sheperds and all the stuff that I won’t be able to do without her!
Candelaria tour was more than I could ever have hoped. She indeed took us off the beaten path, away from the tourist throngs and introduced us to the beating hearts of Chefchaouen, all the while giving us the benefit of her 20+ years here (as a non-native she could explain some of the cultural uniqueness and things that us travellers would be fascinated by) her insight on how it has changed and her passion for her adopted home, it's passageways, people and community were evident from her stories and when we were with her, whether we were going into an oven, blacksmith or passing by her neighbours and friends in the street we were embraced by association...a true privilege. Plus her recommendations from where to eat, where to get the real handicrafts, things fixed etc...and much more were invaluable. No matter if you think you know Chaouen...I encourage you to get to know Candelaria's, I've come away even more in love with the place. Thank you Candelaria!
