====Other traditions==== [[File:Misericordia Trono 3.jpg|thumb|Holy Week procession in [[Malaga]].]] The traditional dress of 18th-century Andalusia was strongly influenced by ''{{lang|es|[[majo|majismo]]}}'' within the context of ''[[castizo|casticismo]]'' (purism, traditionalism, authenticity). The archetype of the ''majo'' and ''maja'' was that of a bold, pure Spaniard from a lower-class background, somewhat flamboyant in his or her style of dress. This emulation of lower-class dress also extended to imitating the clothes of brigands and [[Gitanos|Romani]] ("Gypsy") women.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Worth |first=Susannah |date=2014-05-01 |title=Gitana Dress and Dress à la Gitana |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1179/0361211214Z.00000000022? |journal=Dress |volume=40 |issue=1 |pages=31–45 |doi=10.1179/0361211214Z.00000000022 |issn=0361-2112}}</ref> The [[Museum of Arts and Traditions of Sevilla]] <!-- that's the name the institution itself uses in English, including the Spanish spelling "Sevilla" --> has collected representative samples of a great deal of the history of Andalusian dress, including examples of such notable types of hat as the ''[[sombrero cordobés]], ''[[sombrero calañés]], ''[[sombrero de catite]]'' and the ''{{ill|pavero|es|pavero}}'', as well as the ''[[traje corto]]'' and ''[[traje de flamenca]]''. Andalusia has a great artisan tradition in [[tile]], [[leather]] (''see [[Shell cordovan]]''), [[weaving]] (especially of the heavy ''[[jarapa]]'' cloth), [[marquetry]], and [[ceramic]]s (especially in Jaén, Granada, and Almería), [[lace]] (especially Granada and Huelva), [[embroidery]] (in [[Andévalo]]), [[ironwork]], [[woodworking]], and [[basketry]] in [[wicker]], many of these traditions a heritage of the long period of Muslim rule.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Caravaca, I. |title=La artesanía andaluza |year=1986 |journal=Revista de estudios andaluces |number=7 |issn=0212-8594 |pages=37–50 |doi=10.12795/rea.1986.i07.02 |language=es |doi-access=free}}</ref> Andalusia is also known for its dogs, particularly the [[Andalusian Hound]], which was originally bred in the region. Dogs, not just andalusian hounds, are very popular in the region. Andalusian equestrianism, institutionalized in the [[Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art]] is known well beyond the borders of Spain. The [[Andalusian horse]] is strongly built, compact yet elegant, distinguished in the area of [[dressage]] and [[show jumping]], and is also an excellent horse for [[driving (horse)|driving]]. They are known for their elegant "dancing" [[gait]].<ref>[http://www.realescuela.org/home.htm Real Escuela Andaluza de Arte Ecuestre] {{Webarchive| url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091215100745/http://www.realescuela.org/home.htm |date=15 December 2009 }}, official site.</ref> <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> File:Alhambra - decorazioni2.JPG|Tiles from the Alhambra.
