MarÃa del Pilar Gazulla Montero is a Spanish jotera and former footballer.
Pilar Gazulla was born in San MartÃn del RÃo, Aragon, Spain, on 12 February 1951. Her father, JoaquÃn Gazulla Navarro, was a famous jota performer known as El Chamalo. The family moved to Catalonia when Gazulla was six, and she grew up spending time backstage at the Apolo Theatre.
Gazulla joined the nascent FC Barcelona women's team in 1970 as a defender, ahead of their inaugural match and 1971–72 season, and remained with the team until 1976. Her husband became a delegate of the Barcelona women's team and encouraged Gazulla, from a Spanish-speaking region of Aragon, to become conscious of what it meant to represent Barcelona and Catalonia, especially during the Franco dictatorship. In her hometown there is an ethnographic museum honouring her work in jota.
