Wearing a mantilla —a traditional Spanish lace veil— is one of Spain's most iconic customs. During Holy Week (Semana Santa), women known as manolas dress in black from head to toe, with a lace mantilla draped over a tall comb called a peineta. This tradition dates back to the 18th century and remains a powerful symbol of devotion and elegance in cities across Andalusia, Madrid and beyond.

The Rocío pilgrimage is a unique experience: days of walking, riding on horseback or in a carriage through the marshlands to reach the village of El Rocío. The clothes you wear need to look good, yes, but above all they must be practical. And the key piece of the female rociero look is the rociero skirt.

In this guide we explain the different types of rociero skirts, the most comfortable fabrics for the trail, how to style them and how much they cost. With direct links to the skirts you can buy from our shop.

¿Encima de la cabeza, detrás, a un lado? ¿Con qué peinado? ¿Cómo me la engancho para que no se caiga?

Si has ido o vas a ir a cualquier Feria como la de Sevilla, Jerez o Córdoba, seguro que estas preguntas te han asaltado por una falta de conocimiento que es… de lo más normal. Realmente no existe un protocolo ni una norma que marque cómo se debe poner la flor ni exactamente en qué parte de la cabeza debe ir colocada. 

Sin embargo, siempre ha existido un protocolo “popular” o código de vestimenta comúnmente aceptado por la población andaluza de situar la flor justo en la parte de arriba de la cabeza. Es decir, se suele colocar en lo que sería el vértice entre la parte de arriba (donde te pondrías un sombrero) y la parte de detrás (lo que apoyamos en la almohada). La idea es que la flor “asome desde detrás” y que quede en lo más alto, coronando tu look de flamenca con un toque fresco y elegante.
