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.
We had a fantastic private tour with Candelaria. She took us away from all the busy tourist spots and showed us what life used to be like here. A very relaxed tour that we definitely recommend!
Candelaria was a terrific guide. Just the right balance of information and pace. Very personable and gave great insight into Chefchaouen.
We wanted to understand the history of Chefchaouen and figure out how the people there live their daily lives. Candelaria understood since she was once, too, an outsider looking in, but after years of living there, she is definitely part of the local scene. She provided us with so many insights and showed us parts of town we would not have seen without her. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. This tour was just what we'd hoped for and more!
Questo tour è stata una vera sorpresa. Candelaria ci ha fatto appassionare alla sua città, accompagnandoci in un tour alternativo, fuori dalle strade battute, raccontandoci la storia e tanti aspetti socio-culturali della città. Appassionante, ironica e sincera. Con lei abbiamo scoperto degli angoli che non avremmo mai visto da sole. Il Gruppo era molto piccolo e questo ha permesso un tour rilassante, a nostro ritmo ma completo… il tempo è volato! Grazie di cuore
Candelaria offers a relaxed chilled walking tour. If hitting all the touristy spots at fast pace is your thing, then this may not suit you. Candelaria is respectful of the needs and wants of the walkers. She shares local tips from Shopping and massages, to good restaurants. Conversations flow easy with Candelaria. Thanks for a great day out Candelaria. It was a pleasure to meet you .
