The capa de honras, also known as the capa parda alistana or capa de chiva, is a traditional garment from the border regions of Spain and Portugal, especially Aliste, Alba, and Trás-os-Montes. It may be connected to cloaks used by Celtic peoples such as the Zoelae. Originally worn by shepherds and farmers to protect against the cold and rain, it later became a cloak used for important occasions such as weddings, funerals, and processions. In many families it is preserved as an heirloom and passed from father to son. The cloak is made of thick dark wool and decorated with “picados”, geometric cut out appliqués stitched onto the cloth. These motifs commonly include crosses, suns, hearts, and stylized animals or plants, patterns also found in local folk art and embroidery. Many of them have protective or symbolic meanings. In Zamora, the Association for the Study of the Capa Parda holds an annual Act of Exaltation of the Capa Parda in different towns of Aliste on the weekend closest to the feast of Saint Martin of Tours (November 11). This event has helped revive and promote its use while strengthening local pride in wearing such a distinctive and beautiful traditional garment.
