Hello, I am Candelaria, I was born a traveller, it is in my genes, my first plane ride was at 9 days old. I first came to Morocco in 1987 as a young backpacker. It definitively made a huge impression on me, but I never imagined I would end up living here. Chaouen is my home since 2004. I will be delighted to show you around town, and hopefully you will understand why Chefchaouen is so special, way beyond its famous blue walls. I have learnt that people enjoy seeing Chaouen through my eyes, a foreigner very well adapted to a culture so different to my own. I speak Spanish, English, French, Italian, Arabic and Portuguese and have lived in many countries. I love good food, nature and hospitality, which are the reasons why I do this. I own a small guest house (Riad Jibli) which keeps me busy, my life is quite simple in this sweet town.
I went during the hot season (June) so I was the only one of the tour. I had the best tour guide, she was able to show me nearly everything I wanted to see and shared some very insightful information about the city and its history. We also talked about how the flow of tourism has impacted the lives of the local people. Overall recommend 10/10
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!
