Northernmost Cape in the African Continent
... A small farming village, mainly fishermen established at the base of
a mountain which advances in the Mediterranean in a very exotic
cape, RAFRAF, is part of a dozen villages situated in the
Western Coast of Tunisia, resided by descendents of Muslims
of Andalusia, chased out of Spain by « Isabella la
Cattolica » (Catholic Isabel) in 1442.
These populations have brought with
them from the rich Andalusia, to Raf Raf and to other
villages, a know-how in the hydraulic field, farming, architecture,
crafts, tissue and cotton, and other manufacturing professions.
Rafraf is celebrated in the Country of Tunisia for :
-
farming (grapes, of Raf Raf, a variety
of very sweet grapes, as well as « the pear of Raf Raf, red
and yellow »)
-
high couture, industry managed in big
part by local housewives, producing new designs of wedding bags very
appreciated in the rest of the Country
-
bird
cage
crafting, an industry run by young artisans, mainly by men workers.
Rafraf
is located by the « Ichckeul Lake » recognized by the UNESCO
as a « patrimoine mondial » due to the site's role as Winter
Destination for a variety of birds avoiding the European
cold. It has been lately observed that bird species
all the way from Siberia fly to « Lake Ichckeul » in European
winter time.
In Raf Raf, tradition is that
every house has one or more bird cages for canary bird
as ornament, and the first voices of the morning consisted of the
village’s alarm a clock. Coffee shops, different artisans, barber
shops ... had also the tradition of having a bird cage with a
canary at the work place, until the radio has been invented.
