Her name is Cati, short for Catalina, Catherine in English. She is part of the cultural group of the town of Jesús on the island of Ibiza. She is dressed in the traditional costume of the island and goes to participate in the popular dance of the local festivities. The particularity of this outfit is that she wears several gold necklaces, which in the past were the dowry for the girls for when they got married. Nowadays it has lost that meaning and is purely ornamental, although it is also considered an investment.
