Trivia: What is the colorful nickname of Chefchaouen, Morocco?
Blue Pearl
City of a Thousand Blues
Indigo Jewel
Cyan Village
The correct answer is Blue Pearl
So why is this answer correct? : Shortly after Chefchaouen was founded in 1471, the city attracted a large number of Jews who were fleeing the Spanish inquisition. The immigrants reputedly brought the tradition of painting their houses blue to mirror the sky and bring them closer to God. The tradition endured, and today visitors flock to Chefchaouen, nicknamed the “Blue Pearl.”
