Fabrics for Moorish and Christian costumes
The Moors and Christians Festivities are a cultural reference in Spain, full of history, colour and tradition. Inspired by historical events such as the Reconquest and the battles against Barbary pirates, these celebrations are characterised by their elaborate parades and costumes that evoke the magnificence of bygone eras.
At Ravial,we understand that the costume is a key element in the recreation of this tradition. For this reason, we offer a wide range of fabrics specifically designed to make garments that reflect the spirit and authenticity of these festivities.
