The: return of the: charro 



Ten years ago this typical charro costume was rarely seen in Mexico, except in the more 

 distant places, where the influence of the early Spanish conquerors was still strong. Now there 

 are several flourishing charro societies, the purpose of which is to revive the use of these 

 picturesque old-time costumes.
