Costume: The "chulapo" or "chulapa" costume, so recognizable and associated with Madrid, should not be confused with the regional costume of the community—which is the "goyesco"—but is instead a typical costume of the region, worn in the 19th century as the daily attire of the population; it became the outfit for festive days such as San Isidro, La Paloma, or La Almudena, and at the beginning of the 20th century, it was established as the typical costume of Madrid thanks to popular zarzuelas.
The authentic traditional costume of Madrid is the so-called "goyesco," an outfit commonly used by the upper classes of Madrid from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. The more popular classes eventually adapted it to their own more or less habitual attire. This era corresponds to the period after the French Revolution and also coincides with a century in which Spain was under French rule.
It is also internationally popular in Ronda (Málaga), where its "damas goyescas" wear it during their famous Goyesca Bullfight, which is held once a year. (For more information, see link DIARIO SUR )
