Nayarit (Southwest) - This is a small southwestern state which was once a part of Jalisco. The men wear the traditional white shirt under a colored shirt that is tied in the front and white pants with bandanas on their heads. The women dress in a small flower print ranchera style outfit and use a Huichol fan instead of a rebozo or shawl like the Jalisco women wear. Interesting to this state is the dance of the matchetes, where men dance clanging and tossing their matchetes to the point of making sparks. This is done while women dance through and arch of clanging matchetes. This dance is originally of Moorish influenced, originating when Spain was conquered by the Moors.
