Feria Word of the Day: PEINETA






Semana Santa, the bullfights, and weddings
have the biggest peinetas, I've seen




PEINETA: Ornamental hair Comb, Peinecillos, small ornamental combs, 


  • Incredibly large comb used as a head dress for festivities such as Holy Week, Feria and Weddings in Andalusia.
  • sometimes also called tejas (tiles, as in roof tiles) 
  • local lingo: A large unkept toe nail :-(

For feria, peinecillos and peinetas are very bright and colorful.
