The famous Spanish costumes are unique to the Iberian peninsula, expressing the Portuguese' and Spaniards' distinct heritage and sovereignty. It must be acknowledged that each sub-national identity in Spain has its own national costume and visual heritage. Andalusia, the Catalans, the Basques, and the "Celts" of Galicia have their own costumes. Galicia in the northwest, whose inhabitants consider themselves descendents of the Celtoiberians and not of the mainland Spaniards, have a unique costume shocking to many because it is almost identical to that of the Ku Klux Klan.Traditional Dresses
Portugal:
Portuguese costume reveals a cultural and ethnic link to their Spanish relatives, with slight divergences to reflect Portugal's longer and distinct history. It is, interestingly, similar in many ways to Basque dress.
The first picture in the Portugal's section (the woman dressed in a red costume) is typical in Northern Portugal, specially in the Minho region, but that clothing in Portuguese folklore actually goes along with what we call the "A Noiva" (which literally means "The Bride" ). "As Noivas" are women dressed in black with extremely beautiful pure gold necklace and garments. You can actually see a woman dressed in black in that picture, behind the lady in red, but you don't see the front part. I am sending you some pictures of these costumes (along with the male partner). They are associated to the city of Viana do Castelo and are mainly related to religious traditions related to the sea, but you can find them in many fishing towns in Northwestern Portugal. These garments are actually said to have been much more luxurious in the past, but the old fascist regime opressed them for over 50 years.
The other costume is what we call "Pauliteiros of Miranda do Douro" and are typical in Northeastern Portugal. They basically are men in skirts who dance at the sound of bagpipes (traditional Portuguese music) with sticks. These costumes are unique in Portuguese folklore, you won't find them anywhere in Spain, not even Galicia. They are typical in the city of Miranda do Douro, but you can find them now all over the country where the Portuguese bagpipe is played (Portuguese people play 2 types of bagpipes - the Galician one and the "transmontana", commonly known as the "Portuguese bagpipe" with a much stronger sound, perfect for outdoor performances).
Unlike the Scotts, Portuguese bagpipers are not allowed to use skirts, only young male dancers should use them. These bagpipers use a type of costume that is, in my opinion, very similar to other folk dances all over the country.
