Tetouan-view from the Cemetary

"Tetteguin is a small town built by the ancient Africans 18 miles from Gibraltar and 6 miles from the Ocean. The Muslims conquered it when they defeated the Goths in Ceuta. When they took over the city, they chose a one-eyed countess to govern it- she would come once a week to collect her dues. As she only had one eye, the locals named their city Tetteguin, which in African dialect [Berber] means eye." (Leo, 268)
