Testour

Minaret in Testour

We made an unplanned diversion to Testour which Salah had mentioned during our tour of Carthage.  When the Catholics expelled the Moslems from Spain, some refugees from Andalusia settled here.  Its mosque has achieved some fame because the minaret includes Star of David designs and the dial of the clock is numbered anticlockwise.

We walked up and down the main street, searching for a restaurant., but with no luck.  In the end we were forced to scour the shops and coffee bars to try to buy some lunch and I managed to find a citronade, stale madeira cake and some cashew nuts.  At least there were seats in a paved area near to where our bus was parked, so we had somewhere decent to sit and eat.
