Bab El Onsar

Bab El Onsar is a gate which was built in the 16th century, located northeast of the Medina, and is around 500 meters 8 minutes walk from Place Outa El Hamam. The main crafts of Chefchaouen are woven cloth and wool, which are then crafted into bedsheets, blankets, rugs, and clothing, and appreciated by locals and tourists. Along the walkway are occupied by little bazaars that sell local crafts, arts, clothing, and traditional souvenirs. It's a treat for the eyes to see all the colorful wares being displayed against the blue walls. At times it can feel a bit claustrophobic as there does not have much space to walk, when all the wares are out for display.
