PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #130 | Portrait of Cati | ESP / ENG

Her name is Cati, short for Catalina, Catherine in English. She is part of the cultural group of the town of Jesús on the island of Ibiza. She is dressed in the traditional costume of the island and goes to participate in the popular dance of the local festivities. The particularity of this outfit is that she wears several gold necklaces, which in the past were the dowry for the girls for when they got married. Nowadays it has lost that meaning and is purely ornamental, although it is also considered an investment.

Se llama Cati, el nombre corto de Catalina, Catherine en inglés. Forma parte del grupo cultural de la ciudad de Jesús en la isla de Ibiza. Ella va vestida con el traje tradicional de la isla y va a participar en el baile popular de las fiestas locales. La particularidad de este atuendo es que lleva varios collares de oro, que antiguamente eran la dote de las chicas para cuando se casaran. Actualmente ha perdido ese significado y es puramente ornamental, aunque también se considera una inversión.
