	Testour, Tunisia: Still Andalucia
		The land of Testour was granted the unwilling immigrants, those who could not afford to resettle in chic Tunis, in 1609.
		Testour has not lost its old touch, and few places in Tunisia even comes close, in reminding you of the best of Andalucian Spain.
		But Testour was not only a Muslim town, and was deep into the 20th century a town with a sizeable Jewish community and had a pilgrimage at the tomb of Rabbi Fraji Chawat attended by Jews from all over Tunisia.

	Tunisia - Testour
		In the neighbourhoods of Rhiba, Tagarine and Hara, Testour to this day has a distinctly Andalusian flavour, exemplified in its perfectly aligned dwellings, roofed with local tiles and including stables and attics for provisions.
		The inhabitants of Testour still, today, regard their many Marabouts as constituting symbolic protection of the town.
		Driven from their land because of their faith, their ancestors remained very cautious in their choice of neighbours, the organization of their alliances and the sharing of their gouds.

	Rabbi Fradji Chaouat of Testour
		The streets of Testour were similar to the streets of the Arab district of Béja.
		Testour was as important as the pilgrimage to the Ghriba on Djerba was for the Jews of the Tunisian
		Testour passed by the bridge of Trajan, and the original procession of Rebbi Fraji went along the road which was to become Sidi Frej.

		The ma'luf was thus introduced to areas where it was previously unknown, and the Rashidiyya's versions of the melodies and its novel performance style were introduced to areas with distinctive ma'luf traditions of their own.
		The government established an annual cycle of competitions culminating in the festival of the ma’luf in Testour, a small agricultural town, some 70 kilometres northeast of Tunis, renowned for its historic ma’luf tradition.
		The Testour festival served as the national competition between ensembles representing all the regions, and it was adjudicated by delegates of the Ministry of Culture.

	Saudi Aramco World : Exiles From Andalusia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Streets in modern Soliman and Testour are still named for old Andalusian cities, such as Rue Grenade and Rue Valencia.
		For example, Testour's 300-year-old mosque boasts a richly patterned minaret with tooth-like crenelations and surprisingly well-preserved tile work.
		Once restoration is complete, the building, resplendent with Andalusian tiles and marble, will serve as a cultural center for the whole town, perhaps signaling yet another golden age for a remarkable people whose legacy outlived the greatest of calamities five hundred years ago.

	Testour, Tunisia
		The pretty little farming town of Testour lies on the banks of the Oued Medjerda.

		Testour lies on GP 5 (Tunis-Le Kef), 80km/50mi southeast of Tunis.

		Along the Medjerda River, Testour is, perhaps, the best example of these villages.
		With its setting, tiled homes, and streets named as if Testour was a part of the Andalusia of the past, it appears as a truly southern Spanish town.
		Other villages built by the Arab-Andalusians, although not preserving their heritage as well as Testour, nevertheless, still show some signs of Arab Spain.

	Recipe: Tabil (Tunisia)
		Paula Wolfert makes the plausible claim that tabil is one of the spice mixes brought to Tunisia by Muslim-Andalusi in 1492.
		I agree with her and it does seem possible that tabil may have developed in their community of Testour, in the Tunisian plains west of Tunis near Algeria.
		Many of these Moriscos then swelled the ranks of the Barbary corsairs.
