Tetouan, city in Morocco

Fishburn and Hughes: "The capital of Spanish Morocco, a town and port on the Mediterranean dating from the expulsion of the Muslims from Spain in 1492. It served as a refuge also for some Spanish and Portuguese Jews, who formed their own community from 1511 onwards, preserving their language, customs and traditions. From 1807 until 1912 Jews were consigned to their own quarter, called the judería." (194)
