"Tet-ta-wan" means "open your eyes" in the Berber language of North Africa. %f*
I found the Souks and Medina the most confusing of any I have been in. I think it was probably because I was with a tour group for the first time, rather than wandering around on our own.
There was a very Spanish feel to Tetouan, (not surprising , I know). Spanish is still the second language of many of the older Tetouanis, as Tetouan has twice been occuped by the Spanish, the first time in 1859 - 1862, then again in 1913 to 1956. |

Very goo and amusing tips :-) I didn't see Rif Mountains from the city (bad weather) and honestly I didn't like Tetouan at all. | cazz38 Wed Nov 16, 2005 20:32 UTC

Hi ! Nice Tetouan page. I live in Tetouan, and I'm a Berber. I suppose Tetouan comes from berber "ittawin" which only means "eyes" :) The city looks better, I hope you'll come back again. Cheers. |
