The cachirulo is a traditional male Aragonese headscarf. It is colorful and is folded and tied around the head of the baturro (Aragonese person), not completely covering his face but circling it as a belt. Also known as a coronary handkerchief, it originated from the Muslims and worn by the Moors until the 17th century.
The most popular model today is formed by red and black boxes. However, traditionally the type was varied, featuring other combinations of colors such as blue and black or purple and black, as well as plain cachirulos, striped or with flowers.
