Muestra Nacional de La Mantilla
Interested in knowing more about southern Spanish tradition? Then Muestra Nacional de La Mantilla might be the right thing for you. This event dedicated to so-called Mantillas, veil scarves worn by Andalusian women since the Middle Ages gets you closer to this special garment and its history. Mantillas are entwined with the rich Andaludian history and still part of the regional awareness.
This event is intended to keep the tradition of the Mantillas alive.
This year’s edition of the event is dedicated to the process of manufacturing these garments and how to wear. A number of workshops focus on these topics, including one for all visitors featuring how to fix a Mantilla.
Also there is a historic exhibit. This display show various personal items of duchess Doña Cayetana de Alba made available by the Alba Art Foundation.
