Abstract EN

The city of Tetouan on the Mediterranean coast has made it historically a gateway to several cultural tributaries that contributed to shaping its diverse and interactive identity with civilizational currents mixed with European, Arab, African, and Amazigh characteristics.

This distinctiveness is manifested through the transformations of history in several fields where Tetouanese excelled and worked to build their culture that carries behaviors and mentalities with meanings and connotations that vary and intersect in visions of space and humanity The Tetouanese cuisine, crafts, and arts are the culmination of cultural accumulations that highlight the extent of their roots in the depths of history, and reveal to us, through the authentic foods and beverages, how different social categories contributed to its production.

Through them, the structure of society, the economic pattern, and the total values can be understood.

This is what the famous German saying sums up, "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are."
