Data of interest
Founded in 1861, the second year of our festivals.
They wear the typical attire of the Serranía de Ronda that made the bandit horsemen of that place famous. The Smugglers greatly improved those clothes with the incorporation of exquisite embroidery in gold thread and glitter, as well as wool strawberries on the blanket and leggings.
It is a dress made of black cotton or velvet and consists of a jacket richly embroidered on the sleeves and shoulders, a colored inner vest, and a saragüell at the knee also embroidered and with lace. Belt at the waist and leather leggings or boots; white shirt and red bow or tie. On their shoulder they carry a Jerez blanket and a scarf on their head that is covered with the montera.
Women wear a variation of this costume that consists of the jacket, the skirt-pants and the Calañas hat and since 2015 women’s embroidery is free.
On the Saturday of the holidays, just before the Contraband act that they stage with the Mariners, they offer the “Ball dels Contrabandistes” in the Plaza de la Concepción.
