A montera is the cap traditionally worn by many males and females in the folk costumes of the Iberian Peninsula. It has come to name also but not exclusively the ones used by bullfighters, introduced to the event in 1835 by Francisco "Paquiro" Montes as accompaniment to the traje de luces, or "suit of lights".
