SAN MATEO IN OVIEDO: LIVING TRADITION AND FABRICS WITH HISTORY
SAN MATEO IN OVIEDO: LIVING TRADITION AND FABRICS WITH HISTORY
Every September, Oviedo is transformed. The streets are filled with bagpipes, laughter, dances and that special air that only the most beautiful festivities of San Mateo, one of the most beloved celebrations in the north. It is not just a party: it is a way of feeling, remembering and sharing roots.
Behind every parade, every song and every traditional costume, there are centuries of history, pride... and a lot of attention to detail.

At Ravial, we confess: we love being part of it all. Because when we talk about tradition, we also talk about fabrics that accompany the passage of time. Fabrics that not only dress, but also tell stories.
During San Mateo, the traditional costumes - the villager's costume and the porruano costume - are the main protagonists. To see them is to travel back in time... but with an eye on the present.

- For the costume of aldeana:
• White shirt embroidered, with handmade details: our poplins and shirting fabrics are perfect for this.
• Red, green, blue or grey skirts: the twills and strong fabrics provide the body and colour you need.
• Cotilla or corpiño: There's nothing like a good, stretchy velvet with character to make it look strong.
• Dengue with ornaments: a beautiful embroidered fabric or fine lace completes the look with elegance.

- For the costume of porruanu:
• Breeches and waistcoat of cloth or corduroy: our thick corduroy or the classic woollen cloth keep the same style as always.
• White shirt with lorzas: here the popelines and beaters are key.
• Woollen sash and jacket or bullfighter's jacket: red, black or blue, we have something for everyone!
