Traditional Clothing in the Construction of the Extremenian Identity

In the ethnogenesis process of the region of Extremadura, the regional symbols play a key role both in creating new icons and the selection and updating of traditional elements, including some originated in invented traditions. Clothing is one of those symbols of the region, having become a model, Montehermoso dress, accepted as representative of the community, beside iconic models in some locations where traditional clothing was already lost one hundred years ago.
