The document describes the tradition of the chinelo costume in the state of Morelos, Mexico. The chinelo emerged in 1870 when a group of young people in Tlayacapan dressed up to mock the Spaniards during Carnival. Over time, the celebration became popular, and the character of the chinelo evolved to represent Spaniards with beards. There are several styles of the chinelo costume, including the white with blue stripes from Tlayacapan and the black trimmed from Tep.
