Kalaa (Hiking in the Rif Mountains)
Hiding in the hills outside the already tranquil town of
Chefchaouen is the rarely reached village of Kalaa. From here one
can relax in the remote serenity of rural Moroccan life that has
changed little over the centuries. The village is also a wonderful
base for exploring the Rif Mountains and hikes can be arranged to
other local villages in the area and all the way to the
Mediterranean. As tourism increases more villagers are opening
their doors to the trade and new guest houses are springing up in
the area. The easiest way to reach Kalaa is to ask one of the
friendly locals in Chefchaouen.
Information & Facts
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
