Valencia/Spain:





Sevilla/Spain:







Segorbe/Spain:




Orihuela-Aicante/Spain:

In the last picture: We see again the Miter+crozier+choir dress combo. Can anyone explain in what instance is this combination allowed?

Great pictures! Thank God that Per Instructionem (http://catholicsites.org/clericaldress/perinstructionem.html) was mislaid by these canons!

"Ut sive sollicite" and "Per Instructionem": Two documents that never should have been written.

The Spanish birettas with the green tufts/tassles (which?) are COOL. I want one.

Sorry, but I suppose that the only way is by becoming canon of some Spanish chapter (not all) or archpriest in some Spanish archpriestry.

What is the coloured red/violet thing around the neck of the Spanish canons?

You mean that part that covers the chest? That is part of their canons-cappa.
