Abstract
This photograph represents a traditional costume of Portugal, the "dança dos paulitos" performed by Pauliteiros de Miranda, from Miranda do Douro. There is a man and a woman at the end of two rows composed of men dressed accordingly to the tradition, with white skirts, vests and a hat. Each of them has two sticks, essential for the dance they are about to perform.
