With pencil-thin alleys and a sea of startling blue buildings, there is no mistaking where the "Blue City" gets its nickname. Take a walk around the Medina, filled with houses painted blue and white, a tradition that derived from the town’s Spanish settlers in medieval times. Then see the 18th-century 'kasbah' mosque as well as the main square, with plenty of time to eat, stroll, and shop at the souks.
