aristocratic festival of the puesta de largo or debutante ball according to the nomenclature of foreign influence in which young women of marriageable age were presented before society this festival was always restricted to the upper classes in the peninsular kingdoms in the 20th century its celebration age was delayed to coincide with the civil age of majority although it was exported to america where it also took root among the popular classes in spain it gradually disappeared throughout the 20th century the custom has been reintroduced again although in a less formal version as a result of latin american immigration whose members have applied it to their second generation this version of the festival is not generally considered a custom typical of spain but rather exclusive to
