Dar Meziana (6)

A last series of pictures from Dar Meziana, our accommodation in Chefchaouen. We stayed at dars and riads – both large former residences, with the latter having an internal courtyard. Dar Meziana wasn’t the most beautiful, but it probably had the most character, especially the rooms. As charming as the rooms were, they were painfully small – getting past the bed was like an obstacle course full of things to bang your leg into, and the little alcove for a computer was so tiny, it took a lot of gyrations to even get into and sit down. Still, it was a pleasant and picturesque place to spend a few days.

I decided at the last moment to post one more picture from Dar Meziana to illustrate what I meant about Morocco being a stair-rich country. These stairs weren’t difficult, just there were a lot of them, and of course we were on the third floor. Luckily there was always somebody to carry our bags, but after Tim broke his foot we had to insist on ground floor rooms because no way could he have maneuvered on any of the stairs there with crutches.

A beautiful door at the dar, posted earlier:

A very elaborate and inviting staircase. The telework with the white walls is beautiful. Great capture, exposure and composition. Voted

A great perspective! Must be hell if you had a night out and want to be going home.

An excellent composition. I like the perspective and the "disappearing" staircase. V
