Abstract
Of the various styles of clothing worn by the Spanish pilgrims, religious tourists, and spectators who attend the spring pilgrimage to Andalusia's popular Virgin of the Dew (La Virgen del Rocio), two class-coded costumes enjoy a special social and ritual saliency. The first is the traditional festive dress of the region's rural elites ; the second is a stylized version of the everyday clothing worn by male agricultural workers. The contested meanings attributed to both modes of dress are set out and the social significance of the declining reliability of costume as a marker of social class is discussed.
