Most likely, I will be dressed similar to what I've been wearing on the weekends: Utilikilt, plain button-down short sleeved shirt, travel hat (this one, in fact), day-pack filled with various necessities, hiking socks and good walking shoes. Pretty respectable and unremarkable, except for the kilt :rolleyes:
You don't need to wear a wool tank to wear a tartan , as a 4 or 5 yards poly tartan kilt would be ok and not really expensive. Spain is not a kilting place. I just know other two people kilted. One is in Madrid and the other is in Galicia. So, for most of spaniards a kilt is in all cases a tartan kilt, if not... it's a skirt. Wearing kilt hose to the knee would be a sillyness, but you can wear ur hiking socks rolled down of ur boots and it will be ok. Regarding the shirt, just avoid the shiny coloured styles (as hawaïan flowered shirts, for example) and about the hat, whatever you wear you will have to take it out into church, as it's a lack of respect to get in with your head covered. It's maybe a simbolism, but it means somewhat that you're avoiding the grace of God to get into you ;)

Again.... wear it with the same respect that you would wish to receive!

¡Salud!
