( 0539 98 61 36; Pl el-Majzen; 2-11pm) The soulless bar here is OK for a beer, but wine is
only available if you eat in the somewhat dubious restaurant. Beers are Dh25.
BAR
Atlas Chaouen
( 9am-11pm) The jazzy bar here is the smartest in Chefchaouen, but quite a hike. The
hotel's disco (open 11pm to 3am) is the only nightclub in the area. Hotel guests are the cli-
entele during the week, joined by locals on weekends. Beers cost Dh30.
BAR, CLUB
Shopping
Chefchaouen remains an artisan centre and, as such, an excellent place to shop - espe-
cially for Riffian woven rugs and blankets in bright primary colours. Many shops have
looms in situ, so you can see the blankets being made. Previously silk was the material of
choice: the mulberry trees in Plaza Uta el-Hammam are a legacy of these times. Most of
the weaving nowadays is with wool, one of the area's biggest products.
The largest concentration of tourist shops is around the Uta el-Hammam and Pl el-Ma-
jzen.
Well worth a visit is the Ensemble Artisanal OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP (Pl el-Majzen;
10am-2pm & 4-6pm) across from the Hotel Parador. It's one of the best we've seen in Mo-
rocco, although information boards are in Arabic and Spanish only. There are weavers at
their looms, cobblers, artists, knitters and wireworkers.
