Blue Street in Chefchaouen, Morocco

You'll really love the color blue by the time you've visited Chefchaouen. Inside the medina many of the streets, walls, and doors are a magnificent hue of blue.

Chefchaouen was painted blue by the Jewish refugees who lived there during the 1930s. The beauty of Chefchaouen's mountainous surroundings is enhanced by the contrast of the brightly painted medina. It is this beauty and the relaxed atmosphere of the town that makes Chefchaouen very attractive to visitors. (Source | Photo)

Knockoff Street in Wuxi, China

Hey guys, you wanna go shopping at H&N with me and then grab some SFFCCCKS coffee? It's across from the Appla store. Your brain might have corrected those brands to read “H&M,” “Starbucks,” and “Apple,” but if you were walking down the street in Wuxi city in China you'd be wrong. That's actually how all of the signs read. It kind of feels like a lame parallel universe. Oddly enough, these aren't companies just ripping off their competition—they're fake street signs on empty shops meant to give potential buyers a sense of what the area could look like. Unfortunately, the idea kind of backfired and the street has become a big joke on the internet in China. (Source)

Vila de Gracia in Barcelona, Spain

When people talk about Gràcia it is really the Vila de Gràcia, the historic old center, to which they are referring. This place is probably the coolest suburb in Barcelona.

The main streets of Gran de Gràcia, Torrent de l'Olla, and Travessera de Gràcia are always a hive of activity, but it is the squares that give Gràcia its unique atmosphere.

The way Gràcia is laid out makes it ideal for street parties, and the Festa Major in August is the most important in Barcelona after La Mercè. The competition for the Best Decorated Street is always hard fought and big stages are set up in the major squares offering some of the best bands around. (Source)
