Sunset Tonight in Chefchaouen

The live score above pulls today's forecast and runs it through GoldCast's scoring model. Above 70 is worth going out. Below 40, stay home. The score updates daily.

Chefchaouen is the blue medina city in the Rif Mountains, and it's less a horizon-sunset location and more a light-quality location. The blue-washed walls, stairways, and doorways of the medina interact with warm golden light in a way that creates unusual color contrast: cool blue surfaces against amber sky and backlit dust. The Spanish Mosque on the hillside above town is the classic vantage, giving a panoramic view over the entire medina and the mountain valley behind it at golden hour. The surrounding mountains block direct western sun, so the color comes from the sky above rather than the horizon.

Chefchaouen sunset ranges from around 5:45 PM in December to 8:35 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
